Abstract
Abstract A nocking point is attached to an archery bowstring. The nocking point has a collar secured to the bowstring and an integral guide that extends laterally away from the bowstring along the rear side thereof to define a nock-receiving portion adjacent to the collar. The laterally extending guide in cooperation with the crimped collar and the nock of an arrow prevent the bowstring from rotating or twisting during use. The nocking point may have two spaced split collars adapted to be secured to the bowstring and be interconnected by an integral guide that defines a nockreceiving portion between the two collars.
