I do and will never again use the brass crimp on things. Takes about 2 minutes, you can adjust them and they never wear out.

What Bob said. It's a very simple installation and done correctly will last indefinitely. And you can adjust them up and down the serving like a nut on a bolt---and they don't move on their own. There is also the added feature that you'll gain some speed. I've chrono'd the results on my bow and found that a brass nockset robs my bow of 4fps. So if you're one of those guys that has a double above the arrow and one below you've just cheated yourself out of 12fps.

Tie on nocks are all that I use. I also use the same not if I tie in silencers or peeps.

You can also adjust them on the string without redoing the whole things. Just twist them.

I started using serving material for a nock about a year ago. I was a little apprehensive at first as I thought it would slip relatively easily. I was wrong and now rarely use a standard brass nockset.
