I went to tie on when I started shooting traditional.I tie on 1 above and 1 below for me it just looks more traditional and no wear and tear on tabs or gloves.

I personally like the tie on.  I have had two strings fail at the nock set using the brass ones.  I don't know if I crimped them too tight or what but I've never had a string failure with a tie on.

Tie-On, no wear on glove and more traditional to me.

Forgive my ignorance. What is a tie-on nock? How is it done?

[Talondale]

Brass.  My tieing skills aren't that great but I can work a clamp.     I shoot three under so glove wear isn't an issue.

Where do you get Tie On Nocks????

[vermonster13]

Have used both and still do depending on my mood.


Naphtali, a tie on nock is just a piece of floss, serving, thread or whatever that you tie on to your string for a nock point for your arrows.

Tie-on, but they do ware out. and once set that it until you put on a new one.

brass my tie ons wear out after about a week shootin 3 under?????????

I use a brass nock when first tuning the bow because I find it easier to move around than a tie on.  After tuning, I remove the brass nock and put a very small and thin tie-on on the serving.  Sometimes, if I use a light colored serving (make my own strings), I'll just use a waterproof ink nock (no nock at all).

Tabs and gloves, as mentioned previously, tend to wear more with brass nocks.  I also think you might roll the string more when releasing.

I shoot three under. I'm trying out a brass nock on top with a tie-on underneath (not glued). So far, I like it. No... really.

what i do with my tie ons is epoxy them and they last just as long as brass nocks.  

[jeff / sc]

Ray's link on page 2 explanes how to do it...I'm currently using either B50 or just regular serving.  The B50 has the advantage of being a different color so it's easier to see.  I have also used dental floss.

I did the tie on, one over, one under. I used a brass nock set till I found the right spot. I tied the bottom one first, took the brass off, nocked an arrow, then tied the top one. I took the arrow off the string once I had the the top one started.

I had an "old hand" tell me that a brass nock set "will make yer bow mad".

I'm sure it's easier on the string, glove and the nocks. I think it's a little quieter too. Thanks for the input guys.

I use the tie on, just like Charlie's How-to. It makes the string so much more comfortable on your fingers. It is also aesthetically pleasing as it sort of blends with the string rather than just having a large "bump" there.
Brass isn't traditional enough for me.
