string nock vs. brass nock

[Lonnie bailey]

who likes string nocks vs. brass nocks and why, pros and cons

[BowMIke]

I like the string nocks much better. They don't put a callous on my finger and are smaller.(the way I tie them anyway!). They are also lighter than the brass nocks.

[karrow]

i perfer string nocks over brass for one reason i have had problems with brass nocks tearing up the tip of my shooting glove. but as far as performance i dont think theres a advantage either way imo.

[smilinicon]

Tried 'em all and now use a simple brass nock.

[bulldog18]

I will use a brass nock to get my nock height close. After tuning I replace it with tied on string nock.

[robtattoo]

I use both. Don't really notice a difference either way.

[Blackstick]

I use string nocks because of how easy they are to screw up and down the string while experimenting with different heights. Also, string is cheap.

[Zradix]

string nock, easy to tie, easy to adjust but stays where you want it, don't worry about messing up the serving with pliers when I move/remove it, doesn't groove out my tab, looks better

....oh yeah it's .0005ft/sec faster too

Same here.

I shoot 3 under so there's not a problem with the brass nocks for me. But I do use the string nock for a second nock.

string nocks (2) for me. they won't tear my glove, easy to adjust up and down the string. don

[jackdaw]

ditto with snag...I also shoot 3 under...so I have zero problem with the brass nock point. However......my buddy shoots split and he ruined the stall on his grant Young Fred Bear glove in a week!!!! He got a small burr when he clamped the brass nockpoint fast .....now he'll only shoot string nocks...

Like the string nock becase it free the string you have left over for sreivring to tie your nock no waste also use them for 30 yr it just flat work for me

[Night Wing]

One single brass nock for me. Never had a problem with a brass nock tearing up my tabs. Probably because with my 30" draw length and shooting 66" length recurves, the string angle isn't severe enough to tear up my shooting tab.

Same for me.

What Bulldog said!

I've been tying on my nocks since I started shooting Traditional over 15 years ago.Doesn't require any pliers to crimp on and won't scratch my bow and just looks more Traditional to me.

[azhunter]

Shoot 3 under and I use a brass nock above and below my arrow. I have never had a problem with brass nocks. Simple and easy to use.

i always touch my brass nocks up on my paper wheel....smooth and shiny when youre done.  or you can just file the burr down on your nock once you clamp it with your pliers.  10 seconds of filing will save you from tearing up your glove.

Brass nocks for me...I shoot 3u.
