I do not see why that could not be tried as an experiment with the approval of the DEM and the EM.
other wise set one up and try it on a non SCA range, or give me a call and come up some weekend and we will try it on my range. I Would be couries to see how it works and to see the documentation.

Subject: [Archers] loop string nocking <br>

<div class="PlainText">Noble friends of the arrow,<br>
<br>
In the Osprey book ENGLISH LONGBOWMAN 1330-1515 by Clive Bartlett there <br>
is a detail shot of a curious way of nocking. It uses arrows without <br>
nocks, instead ground to a sharp point approximating the way a modern <br>
arrow is tapered before the plastic nock is applied. This "nock-end <br>
point" is inserted into a loop tied in the bowstring. Has anyone here <br>
ever seen or tried this in real life?<br>
<br>
Of course this is prohibited from an SCA range by the prohibition <br>
against knots in a string.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
