I've been tying on my nocks since I started shooting traditional about 20 years ago.Been tying two on,one above and one below.It just looks more traditional,requires no tools!

Tie on for me,with some clear fingernail polish after adjustment is done. Had to add some dental floss to the serving to keep the nock from coming off.

I was a big proponent of tied on (still am)  but lately I've come to like a brass nock on top and a tied on nock on bottom.

2Bird, I serve the area once I have determined the nock point. During the tuning I just use some floss that I can easily move.

Tied on one above and one below.  Used brass for first few years when I was getting started, but converted to tying them on when I realized they could be adjusted in small increments easily by just screwing up or down the string.

Monterey, that was no punn intended lol hahaha

Jerry, that's what I thought but figured I would ask.

Ok so why the brass on top and tie the bottom guys? Guess I don't understand that...

I tie mine on.  The brass nocks always seem to chew up my gloves.  Maybe it's just me though.

For those that tie on, take a piece of paracord and remove the inner white strings to me the perfect size for nocks

Tie on with whatever color of thread is in the sewing kit catches my eye.  Have cut my face with brass.

Used, and still use, both. Currently, with a new bow, brass above and tie on below. The brass is ease to see and feel, easy (for me) to adjust, and entirely consistent. Tied on nock below.

I file down the corners and somewhat sharp edges of the brass; tie the lower nock snug and melt the tag ends into the nail knot.

Sometimes a tie on above and below, when I'm settled with the bow.

Tie em on, if done right you need no glue, they will not move unless I move them.

J. Holden, its not just you. The main reason I tie mine on is brass nocks tear the heck out of my Damascus Gloves.

I use a tie on above and below with either floss or serving.  Works great.
