Do you prefer one or two nocking points? If you ansewr is one, do you nock the arrow above or below the nocking point?

Definitely two, also helps to keep the arrow from moving at the shot if your nocks are a little loose, seen it happen to a friend and he couldn't figure out why he was getting squirrely flight until I mentioned it

I use one and nock the arrow above it. Always have and I don't see any reason to change but I don't see a lot of advantage either.

I use two, even though I shoot split finger.

Two. No disadvantage to it, and slow-motion photography has shown the nock can slide on the string at release with just one.

I use two, but did use one some time ago. Then, I nocked under. That way you can hang the bow with an arrow nocked and it won't fall off the bow. If you nock above the nock, that can happen.

I use two. Less room for mistakes that way.

I use 2. Will continue as long as I can afford the extra few inches of serving...

Two!

If I shoot a bow with one, I nock below the nocking point.

Two tied on, probably need only one but why risk it?

Two, tied on. If only one the arrow goes under to prevent the bottom fingers from shoving the arrow nock up and out of place.

Two always

2. I started with one, but have found I get more consistant flight with 2, on every bow I have experimented with. Must negate some release error I have.

I use two for hunting and one for tuning or summer shooting. With one, I nock under.

I can nock above and have tried that for the experience of it as inspired by John Schulz, as used when using a back quiver.

Whatever you get used to. I can very accurately use no nock at all...dead reckoning and that works when in a pinch as well.

Good Luck!

One. Under. When I was a kid I knew a bunch of people that nocked over. A couple of years ago, I bought a flea market bow with one nock. It shot lousy until I inadvertently nocked over. It shot fine then, so I guess some still do that.

I use both and do not believe I have ever had an issue with either

One above made with dental floss. Used to put model airplane glue on it to harden it but don't now. Tried the press on type and keep some in my tool box, but don't like them. Dental floss has worked for me since 1962, so have not changed.

2 for me as well.
