Nocking Point Stop

A nock point stop is a small component on the bowstring that holds the arrow in place at the nock point and prevents it from sliding. It is usually installed above—and sometimes below—the nock. These can be either pressed-on brass clamps or wrapped thread stops.

Function:

  • Fixes the vertical position of the arrow.
  • Ensures consistent shooting conditions.
  • Part of fine-tuning the bow setup.

Notes:

  • Wrapped thread stops are lighter and gentler on finger tabs or gloves.
  • Brass clamps are faster to install but slightly more rigid.
