snap-on vs. classic index nocks

Are snap-on nocks tighter fitting on the string than classic index nocks. I use classics with all my B50 strings but that are a little loose on my low stretch one, even with larger serving.

I use the Classic nocks. A tad loose, but a couple wraps of dental floss snugs them up fine, the serving does'nt wear either.

Yes they are, but a too tight nock/string fit can play hell with your consistency & accuracy.
I use only Easton Super Nocks in both carbs & alums, but sand the throat slightly so they don't have such a death grip on the string...

I use classics but snip off that godawful looking index. Match your string to your favorite nock...Van

I use classic nocks with nock adapters on CX heritage shafts. A little loose on a 14 strand D97 string. I had rather them be a little loose than tight. I guess I could add some serving and tighten them up some. I can lightly thump the string and the arrow pops off.

I just might have to get some snap-ons for this bow because it shoots great with the string it has and the classic fall of too often.

I much prefer the classics. They have just a slight bit of snap whereas the old snap nocks have quite a bit and that can affect arrow flight. It is pretty easy to adjust string fit with serving diameter or a couple pieces of string material layed in under the serving. 16 strands of B50 with a #4 nylon serving fits the Classic perfectly.

I use snap on. I clip them on 1/8 brass rod. Boil for 10-15 seconds stirring then submerge in cold water. Opens them up for a perfect fit on my flemish strings. Depending on how deep the pot you can do a bunch at one time.
