I like two and I sand my nocks and it's a smooth release.

Two.
This is a Morrison factory nock set.

 

He taught me that at ATAR, and I am a good pupil when I respect the teacher.

Tie-on string nock is much superior to the metal squeeze nocks I used prior IMO. That's a very sure trouble free nock in Killy's photo. I use a single tie-on nock above my arrow.

I've always used one. Never liked the brass nock sets so I tie dental floss on then melt it in with a match. No way to adjust the location, but it does not move and/or crimp the string.

I use one,but in the past I've used two.
Not for any particular reason,one day I just thought I would give two a go and it worked just fine.
Then for some reason I went back to one.
Again not for any particular reason.
I do shoot 3under but I don't have any issues with arrow control ect,so that's not it for me.
Just do what works for you I guess.
Winning or losing is not the important thing,,the important thing is how well you played the game.

Two keeps the arrows from slipping down the string,I would recomend tieing these on with piece of serving or dental floss the brass nocks tear up your shooting glove or tab.

I always use two that i tie on with seving.One advantage i see with me is i like a loose nock fit on the string and two nocks keep the arrow in place.

I would like to give two nocking points a try. Is there a pictorial/video anywhere on how to do it.

One is OK for regular shooting, but when hunting I want two, so two it is.

Single tie on.

There are a lot of times when I'm trying to nock an arrow in a hurry and just don't have time to look down and get it between two.
