What is the name of the small brass band on most bowstrings that marks the correct position for nocking the arrow?

Nocking point
Sight point
Anchor point
Cocking point

The correct answer is: Nocking point

The correct answer is the nocking point. This refers to the small brass band that is positioned on the bowstring to indicate where the arrow should be nocked, or attached to the bowstring before shooting. Proper placement of the nocking point is crucial for maintaining accuracy and consistency in shooting. It assists archers in ensuring that the arrow is consistently drawn to the same position, which contributes to more reliable shot placement over time. The other terms relate to different aspects of archery. The sight point pertains to the optical sight used for aiming, the anchor point refers to a consistent location on the shooter's face where the bowstring is drawn back, and the cocking point is not a standard term associated with archery equipment. Understanding these distinctions can help clarify the various components and techniques involved in archery.
