- I've changed my mind about nocks over time. In the beginning I used
- nocks because they were the easiest way to do things. I've used end
- caps recenntly since I could get them inexpensively. I've changed back
- to nocks.
-
- I don't use bungee cords to attach the kite sail to the stick these
- days, I use a piece of cord. A nock is easier to tie the cord to.
- After the cord is tied in place, I slip a plastic end cap over the
- nock.
-
- I use the one piece nocks that just fit over the end. You don't need
- to glue these in place, friction will hold them in place.
