There is described a nocking point assembly in which two differing plastics compositions are used in nocking point components. A softer, elastomeric first material physically engages the bowstring to provide enhanced, non-damaging gripping, while an oversleeved, second arrow-nock-contacting component of a harder plastics composition serves to ensure wear resistance in use. Each component is in the form of a hub-like disc with an integrally-joined tubular shank, the disc and the shank being slit to obviate any need to detach the bowstring when mounting the nocking point components. A separate split or open metallic ring is crimped in place over the intersleeved shanks to secure the assembly as a unit. The slits in the plastic elements, as assembled, are preferably misaligned and are staggered with the split in the locking ring to establish and preserve a round cross-sectional configuration.
A nocking point assembly for attachment to an archery bowstring, said assembly comprising three separate components including first and second grommets and a split metal locking ring,
In a multi-component nocking point assembly comprising a pair of elements including a pair of coaxial, intersleeved tubular sections including an inner section for intimately embracing a bowstring on which said assembly is mounted, and including an outer component for abuttingly engaging a bowstring-mounted arrow nock,
