I do not use brass as that scratches my tab. I use string. First you have to tune and mark the string, put a nock on and lace away. Also nice when you nock while staring at some critter that needs ventilating before coming to dinner

Two nock locators (tied on) with tiny gap -- like Javi 1/16".
Recently I had a bit more gap between locators on one of my strings (sloppy quick job by me). I noticed a slight high tear when paper-tuning the set-up. I added a couple knots to halve the gap and the porpoising stopped.
High speed photography has shown that some set-ups without an under nock locator will allow the arrow to slide down the string upon release and before the arrow has left the string.
I'll never buy another brass nock locator.

Two tie on nocking points on every bow I own cause it works better than one. Tighter groups, no more mysterious random problems getting broadheads to fly true.

I use two on my Bear. I placed the top one, put a nock on, and placed the second point just a bit under it. You'll want to make sure that the nocking points don't squeeze the arrow nock, but not a lot of slack. Like so much else, it's kind of a "Play with it till it works" kind of thing.

I use them, they come in handy when you are trying to knock an arrow and focus on that animal.

Hey I just had to get in on this one. My friend Steve O. told me about it because I had some arrow flight problems. The double nock thing straightened out the problem right away. I leave a little extra room for drawing the bow. No more tail kick, just good arrow flight.

This was really helpful to me. I tried it out and it cleared my arrow flight very quickly. Thanks to all of you who suggested this!!!

I use two and after going to it saw immediate tighter groups.
Two under shooter.
I like the nocks placement tight so there's no slippage at all. I tried a gap just wider than the arrow nock but also saw groups spread apart some.
The how-to posted a while back helped me too in tying them.
Not sure of the link...

i use one, but then i slide them finger-savers on the string and it forms a space for the arrow nock, and because the double lower part of the finger-saver is rubber you can easily adjust for your needs , i found that i have to give it like 1/8" of play space up and under the arrow nock(but i'm no expert)
--will take pichers later

hmmmm...I don't know what knocks y'all are using
, but the ones i got , i have like a glued foam backer on the inside of the bras that gets pressed on the serving, therefore the bras is never in contact with the serving material
What i mean is that some of you are reluctant to install bras on your string because of damage to tabs, gloves, serving...if it does that then is installed wrong
