I too like the two tie on nocks.I recently used the braided spectra  fishing line and like it real well.It holds up good and can be used for serving as well,if you can figure out the diameter you need.

I set mine 5/16" apart. There is a little play at rest but when you draw the bow the arrow does't pinch off the string.

First tune the bow so it shoots quiet with the braceheight. Then adjust the nocking point to where the bow shoots straight.

Then color the bowstring above and below the nocked arrow with a ballpoint pen. I color between those two lines too, so I can see it good. Then double serve above and below that mark.

When you are through, measure everything. Write the string length, brace height, length of the bow tip to tip, distance to string silencers, and the distance from bowtip to the top of the nocking point and from the top bowtip to the bottom of your nocking point; then store that data inside a bag with a spare string for that bow. Then if you need to order a bowstring or set the bow up again you will know what works.

Ive been using 2 brass nocks for a long time. It really helped me. Occasionally I have to check the nocks because they will seperate, at leaset thats been my experience.
