I'm not sure if I'd put it snug against the nock, when I first put my loop on it was to close to the nock and when I drew the bow it lifted the front of the arrow. Once the loops tight it shouldn't move at all even if you don't put nock points in. I've seen guys with tied in nock points both above and below the arrow nock inside the loop , as well as just about any combination you can think of, I really think its personal preferance but not really necessary.
