Depends if you shoot 3 fingers under or split fingers. Split finger shooters like them loose. I shoot 3 under. I build up the serving with dental floss if need be.I get better arrow flight when the nocks are tight on the string and don't move.

I think most will agree that it shouldn't "fall" off the string.

Hang the arrow from the string, then tap the string and it should fall off.
