Bow Tuning Kit

The Bow Tuning Kit contains essential tools for basic bowstring setup, nocking point adjustment and bow measurement.

The set includes:

  • 1× Bow Square
  • 1× specialised nocking point pliers
  • 10× nocking points

The Bow Square features two measuring scales:

centimetres / inches

making it practical for both metric and traditional archery measurements.

Bow Square

The Bow Square is a T-shaped measuring tool designed to attach to the bowstring.

It can be used to check:

  • nocking point position,
  • arrow nocking height,
  • brace height,
  • repeatability of bow setup.

Centimetres and inches

The measuring scale provides:

centimetres

and:

inches

This is useful because archery equipment specifications commonly use both systems.

Nocking points

The kit contains:

10 nocking points

A nocking point creates a consistent reference position on the bowstring for the arrow nock.

Nock vs nocking point

A nock is part of the arrow.

A nocking point is positioned on the bowstring.

These are two different components.

Why nocking point position matters

A consistent nocking point helps the arrow begin each shot from the same position on the string.

This makes it an important part of basic bow setup.

One or two nocking points

Depending on the setup, one or two nocking points can be used.

Two points can position the arrow nock from both sides.

10 pieces included

The set contains 10 nocking points, providing spare components for maintenance, additional strings or multiple bows.

Nocking point pliers

The specialised pliers are designed for installing and adjusting nocking points.

They provide a more appropriate tool than general-purpose pliers for this specific job.

Protect the centre serving

When installing a nocking point, avoid damaging the bowstring's centre serving.

The serving protects the string in the area where the arrow nock, fingers and nocking point operate.

Brace height

A Bow Square can also be used to check:

brace height

the distance between the bowstring and a reference point on an unstrung-draw position of the bow.

The correct value depends on the particular bow.

Traditional bows

The kit can be used for basic setup of traditional bows.

Recurve bows

A Bow Square is also a common service tool for recurve bows.

Longbows

It can be used when setting the nocking point and checking basic string measurements on a longbow.

Clubs and coaches

The kit is useful for:

  • archery coaches,
  • instructors,
  • clubs,
  • archery schools,
  • home bow maintenance.

What is a Bow Square?

A Bow Square is a T-shaped archery measuring tool that attaches to the bowstring.

It helps the archer work with measured values rather than visual estimates.

What can a Bow Square measure?

It is commonly used to check:

  • nocking point position,
  • arrow nocking height,
  • brace height,
  • repeatability of bow setup.

What is a nocking point?

A nocking point is a reference stop placed on the bowstring.

It establishes the position where the arrow nock is placed.

Nock and nocking point

The terms should not be confused.

Nock: part of the arrow.

Nocking point: component or reference point on the bowstring.

Why does nocking point position matter?

A consistent nocking point helps ensure that the arrow starts from the same vertical position for each shot.

One or two nocking points?

Both configurations can be used.

Two nocking points can position the arrow nock between them.

Ten nocking points

The kit includes 10 pieces, making it useful for:

  • maintenance,
  • replacement,
  • additional bowstrings,
  • club equipment,
  • multiple bows.

Nocking point pliers

The specialised pliers are designed specifically for working with nocking points.

They allow controlled installation and adjustment.

Protecting the centre serving

The bowstring centre serving should remain in good condition.

Avoid excessive pressure that could damage the serving while installing the nocking point.

What is brace height?

Brace height is the distance between the bowstring and a reference point on the bow when the bow is not drawn.

Its correct value depends on the particular bow design.

Why measure instead of guess?

Measuring allows you to:

  • record settings,
  • compare changes,
  • repeat a previous setup,
  • return to an earlier value.

Centimetres and inches

The Bow Square provides measurements in both:

centimetres

and:

inches

This is useful because inches are widely used in archery equipment specifications.

Recurve bow tuning

A Bow Square is a common basic service tool for recurve bows.

Longbow setup

The tool can also be used when setting a longbow's nocking point and checking basic string measurements.

Traditional bow setup

Traditional and reflex bows can also benefit from consistent nocking point and brace-height measurement.

For beginners

A beginner can use a tuning kit for basic maintenance once they understand which parameter is being changed.

For coaches and clubs

Coaches often maintain several bows.

A Bow Square and nocking point tools therefore make practical additions to a club service kit.

Record your settings

When you find a setup that works well, record the measured values.

This makes it easier to reproduce the setup after maintenance or bowstring replacement.

Change one setting at a time

During tuning, change one parameter at a time.

If several settings are changed simultaneously, it becomes harder to determine which one affected arrow behaviour.

Bow tuning involves more than the nocking point

Complete tuning may also involve:

  • arrow spine,
  • arrow length,
  • point weight,
  • brace height,
  • arrow rest,
  • other equipment settings.

This kit focuses primarily on basic bowstring measurement and nocking point setup.

Inspection after adjustment

After the first shooting session following an adjustment, check:

  • nocking point position,
  • centre serving,
  • arrow nock fit,
  • overall setup.
