I tie in my nocking point. Much lighter than brass and easier on the nocks.

I'm considering dropping my brass nocks for a tied in one and an eliminator button. . Right now my string is really messy and I been thinking to tidy it up.

I've found that a tied in nock with a string loop around it works best for me. The tied in nock sits on the inside top portion. Without it my string loops have a tendancy to pinch the nock over time.

BTW, the brass nocks towards your cam (speed nocks) are good for at least 2fps. Might want to leave them there

I have 2 of them setup 4 1/2" from my axle per Bowtech's recommendation to help gain a bit of speed. Other than that I have a tied in nock above the bottom knot in my loop, as well as the loop itself. This combo works great.

I tie two nocks with BCY polygrip .020 serving and then tie my loop over the outside. I feel it gives me the best support for my arrow nock as well as keeps the string square/parallel to the riser when at full draw. The arrow nock never comes off even if I draw and let down 100 times in a row. I just put the arrow on and it won't come off until I shoot or take it off.
