I'd always used brass and never had a problem.

The last bow I bought came with a string nock so I've been using it ever since.  

I see no functional difference between the two but I no longer get the nock grove in my gloves that I used to.    

I'll continue with the string nock if for no other reason then it's one less tool I have to keep in my pack.

I have and still do use both, but most of the time I use the brass, its much easier to move it I want to try something. They used to make a groove in my tabs too, I don't really think it hurts anything, but now I take a flat needle file and smooth off the sharp edges, it takes about a minute and no more grooves.

for a long time, just cause I was lazy, I just used simple blue masking tape.  wrapped around the string serving.  started doing that when bowmaking on my tillering strings since I used them of several differnt bows.  

lately been using brass nocks and once I filed then down a touch no glove wear.

JC has it. I like the way tie ons adjust up & down the string till it's just right then glue it. You can still break the glue bond & adjust it if you have to. Frank

I tied one on my Lil Fav string today, shot it about 20 arrows. I like it so far. I think I am getting a smoother release.

Tie on top and bottom.  Brass nock points can also wear the top of the arrow nock.  Those of you that shoot brass, look at the arrow nocks on your arrows and see if it is worn from the brass eating in at full draw.

dragonheart, I just checked some of my nocks from arrows that are probably almost 20 years old and not a mark on the nocks.
I just remembered some OLD nocking points I used that are made out of heat shrink tubing, they actually are the best in some ways, soft so they don't wear on anything and very positve positioning.
