  Love it!!

Can't really tell a difference in the shooting. Once I settle on a nock height with the brass one I'll typically tie on a string one. Just a little more sexy, I guess.

Used brass nocks for years.  Now use string nocks exclusively, love begin able to screw them up and down the string, great for tuning.

I tune my bows with brass and then tie on string nocks. I nock above and below.

[dragonheart]

Tie on string on all bows.

[KentuckyTJ]

I tie my nocks. Don't like how brass nocks scar up my glove fingers.

[LONGSTYKES]

Brass nocks for me, work well never had a problem. Split fingers and a tab.

I use sting knocks becaause I think things you make yourself are cool, and also because I'm cheap ( I prefer to think of it as being thrifty). I use dental floss, usually from free samples at the dentist office

string for me.  I could never remove a brass nock without messing up the serving.  It's also quicker for me to change a string nock point out.

No more brass since trying string which doesn't gouge or catch my glove. BTW, made my own brass nocks forever.

[dragonheart]

Brass nock set have a tendency to eat at the top of your arrow nocks.  Another reason to tie on.

I always tie mine. I've used dental floss, string material, serving material, and they all work fine, but the best I've found is the white cotton string used to sew up the tops feed sacks. Tie it on, screw it up or down until the correct height is found, then add a dab of super glue. I shoot a lot, and I've yet to wear one out.

Now I tie them like this. Awsome how-to.

I prefer string, the brass ones can rip my glove or tab apart (not really but marks it). Seems smoother on release and have heard of brass of brass nocks cutting a string and didn't want it to happen to me.

I use tied on nocks top and bot. Light and easy  to tie, and no waste if you use any extra from serving the string.

[cacciatore]

Like others I start with the brass and when I set the position I switch to the string nock,safer for my glove and my string too.

[Shawn Leonard]

Both and never had a problem with brass tearing up tab or glove. Do like Newell said and hit them with a file to smooth them. Shawn

I use a string nock most of the time.  For the times that I do use brass I have some that have rounded edges so they don't wear my glove/tab. You know how when you find something that you really like they quit making them....I bought 100 of them years ago just so I would never run out of them.

I did the same.......

String works fine. I'm just stuck in a "rut" and have almost always used em.

God Bless

When I shot split finger, I preferred the string nock because the brass nock would tear my tab.  

Now that I switched to three under, its no problem.  Now as far as any 'perceived' weight issue between the two, I don't worry about such petty things.  Rather, I worry more about whether I'm sticking to proper form.  In reality, if one doesn't employ 'proper' form, then it won't matter what kind of nock ones uses. Enough said.

Definately string! Brass was tearing up the cordovan tab.
