I tie on my nocking points instead of a metal nock. If the arrow gets pretty loose, just tie on a second nock (top and bottom) and the arrow will stay just fine on the string. Just be sure not to make these points too close so that they hold the arrow.

yeah sanding the nocks is alot easier than reserving every single bowstring. its not gonna hurt to sand them. ive done it forever. also a tight nock will make alot of noise when you have to clip it onto the bowstring.

BobW, never tried those...99% of my arrows have the Easton X or Uni nock. Besides those, I know I've had perfect luck with Bohning, carbon express, carbon tech nocks to name a few more off the top of my head.

I'm a firm believer in "loose" nocks for accuracy. I use a tied on nock point above and below the nock and an arrow holder and tune my nocks so that the arrow will fall off the string if hung vertically from the string unless the arrow holder is snapped on.
