How many use a nock versus tying in your serving

[Randy Koleno]

I am now using a brass nock on top and a tied-on nock below. I shoot three under.

If you don't tie it really tight you can screw it up and down the serving, raising and lowering your nocking point. Once you get it perfect a dab of glue keeps it in place.

I have done both.   Seems like brass more now.   Still use dental floss once in a blue moon when the mood strikes me.   Listen to Killy, file, file, make em smooth!

I like the tied on nock and have not gone back to brass. They are easy on the fingers when target shooting. I also believe the brass nock can cause some arrow nocks to fly off the arrow if not glued on properly.

Brass for me.  Twenty years now and I've never been cut by one.

I've been tying on my nocks since I started shooting traditional about 15 years or more  ago.It's not hard to do,requires no tool and just looks and feels more traditional to me.And it won't by chance scatch to bow when unstrung.

No brass for me either. I tie mine on. It's super easy.

I am with John3, brass has never let me down.

Brass simple and bullet proof.

[Gray Buffalo]

I tie mine on. Been doing it for years and just like the look

I tie on my nocks.  There is a turorial on here how to tie one tht you twist to adjust up and down.  Once you got it right, glue it in place.

I just switched to tying on my knocks. As others here have mentioned, I was starting to have problems hitting my nose and the brass ones were cutting me pretty good.

Brass nockset for me. No maintenance. Never had a problem with the brass nock tearing up my tab.

There is an average of 3 fps difference in arrow speed when you use a brass nock. Slower,. Also they tend to move. As some have already written its easy to adjust a tied nock by screwing it up and down on the string. When in place a drop of super glue and its set in place. You never have to worry again about it slipping. I learned about nocks years ago shooting unlimited ibos . I cannot remember ever seeing a pro using a clamp on nock. They cannot afford to drop targets because something moved. I feel the same way about elk.

I always have tied on my nocks even when it wasn't "cool".  They weigh less (if that matters) and there has been many occasions where they have caused compression failures in strings.  I saw it when I would re-serve strings when I worked at an archery shop. After unwrapping the old serving many times there were broken strands.
3 under isn't an issue with which type of nock set you use, if you need one above and below it seems like it would be the same regardless.

Hope it helps you.

Brass nocking point and serving wrapped under the arrow nock.

[Ragnarok Forge]

Brass nocks.  Used them for years with no problems.  I shoot split.

[Hookeye]

Me too, doesn't bother my KP300 tabs at all.

All mine are all brass but on my fav glove it cut a hole in it so now I want to tie them on instead. Killdeer and I chatted about this over the weekend and her bow strings look cool.   :D
