Im pretty new to trad archery so im not that good at tying in my serving so i have been using a nock.

I do have one bow that a friend tied a nocking point on for me but i can't tell any difference when shooting my other bows.

Just wondering what other hunters are doing, thanks.

Tying a nock is not hard they have a how to in the how to section on the main page.

Tie on my own.  I have never cared for brass nockset.

Something i forgot to mention is i shoot 3 under, not sure if that matters or not.

I use a brass nock above my nocking point, I shoot 3 under. Tried the tied in ones and they worked well for a month or two and then came apart. Probable did it wrong. A brass nock, once I clamp it on the string, seems to last until the string wears out.

rice that's exactly what i was wondering because i see no difference in my shooting either way.

Im sure i will be able to tie my own serving with practice but if i can shoot just as good with a nock i don't see the point.

I shoot 3 under and tie on a nock above and below the arrow.  They do wear out after a while.  It helps if I start out with a pretty snug fit, as it seems to loosen up a little after I shoot a few arrows.

One advantage of a tied-on nock is that it seems less likely than a brass nock to cut your face or nose when you shoot.  Also, I just like the looks of a tied-on nock.

Brass nock here.  Much easier and more adjustable.  You do want to check the nock after adjusting it with nocking pliers to make sure you haven't left any sharp edges.

I've used both, I'll stick with the brass for the same reasons that Jeff stated above.

Brass nock mostly, when I tie a nock point on I always put a drop of super glue on it and they seem to last a long time. But either works for me. I shoot 3 under!

Brass ones tear up tabs and gloves.
Fie on them, I say, fie!

....What she said.

i like the brass ones, easier to cange if needed after a brace heigth change or something, and last for ever

No brass for me....me and my shooting gloves love dental floss.

Question: If you DO use a tied on nock, how do you adjust it till you get perfect flight?

I start out brass and when I like the location go to floss.

I start out as Bjorn suggests.  Then when I think I have it, I tie on a nock.  The tied on nock can be screwed up or down the serving, if you didn't get it exactly right.  Once it is exactly where you want it, you put a drop of super-glue on it to hold it in place.

Once the upper nock is working for me, and glued down, I tie on the lower nock.

I got some mil surplus dental floss at a gun show, works great but doesn't have that minty smell at full draw.

I started with brass years ago and still use them today... Easy to "tune" and once set will not need any maintenance...

Brass nocks seem to cut my nose when i shoot, so naturally I prefer tied nocks.
