I'm looking for someone who ties on adjustable nock pints.

I use a nail knot for adjustable tie on nocks and like the dynema from big Jim's. It can be twisted up and down on the serving.

I use this version of a cinch knot that Ryan Sanpei came up with some years ago.  I use .030 Halo, which is fat enough to ride on top of my .021 serving, but still results in a nock that is smaller than a brass nock.

Tie on is all I use. Especially if you are trying a new arrow combination or have a new string. Just not that adjustability with a brass nock

I use only a tie-on.  But I can twist them up or down on the serving.  Once I get them in the best location I tie in some dental floss over them to keep them from walking.

Like Mcdave, I use Ryan Sanpei's knot. He had a good video of it, you should be able to find it with a search. Once I determine my nock location I use a spot of glue to keep it there. I had my knot move on me once. Not good.

This is not my picture, but it is how I do it.  It works great.

McDave, how does Ryan's knot differ from the one that you posted in the How To section?
I did a search and found the discussion thread, but the videos are no longer available.

I used my knot for a few years, but liked Ryan's better, so switched to his.  Ryan's knot is adjustable and easy to tie; mine is not adjustable and a little harder to tie.  Frankly, I rarely need an adjustable knot, and I tighten Ryan's knot so tight it would be difficult or impossible to move anyway, unless I know I'm going to want to adjust it, in which case I will also add a dab of glue when I know it is in place.

There are a couple of advantages of my knot.  Once tied, it won't accidentally move, and doesn't need a dab of glue, which some say isn't good for the string anyway.  With Ryan's knot, I and most people probably grip the string right under the knot, assuming two knots are used, as in my photo.  This technically isn't allowable in most trad 3D tournaments, which require that a finger must touch the arrow nock.  Nobody has ever complained about the way I hold the string, but maybe if I ever made it to the final shootoff someone might.  My knot lies flat on the string and you can grip right over the top of it so there is no doubt that a finger is touching the arrow nock.

Anyway, here are the links to my string nock, which is in two parts:

McDave, I'm familiar with your videos and nock knot, and have been using it for several years. But I can't seem to find a video of Ryan's adjustable knot. Any suggestions?

I tie mine doing the overhand knot.  I tried to pull up the videos you guys have mentioned and everything is showing private and won't let me watch.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks McDave!

Dan Quinlan had a tutorial on tying on nocks on one of his videos. Very similar to evgb127's diagram. He used dental floss at least initially for experimentation.

I order most of my strings from Pierre at SBD bowstrings.  He offers that with his string order so i usually just get him to tie mine on.

Thank you.
