I've use the method that Rick Barbee has (or had) a video on. Works great for me. I'm using some old .26 diameter Brownell serving thread that I have a lot of.
The only thing I don't like about tie on nocks is that I have to rework the nock set as the string stretches before it eventually finds a set. The string gets thinner over time.... or at least mine do. That can take quite a while sometimes.

Use a nail knot…takes 90 seconds a nock and is very easy.

I learned how to tie nock set from YouTube videos, once I tried tie on I'll never go back to the brass nock sets. Very easy to tie and adjust.

In this video I use a pencil to better illustrate how the knot works.
When I am just doing it, I use a long fat needle, and it makes it very easy.

The simplest I've found is to mark your spot with tape. Lay your nock material doubled against the string and begin wrapping one of the tag ends around the other and the string where the tape begins. Wrap as many rounds until you get the width you want it (smaller will be easier to adjust). Pull the tag end you're wrapping through the loop and pull the other tag end where you started end to lock that end under the wraps. Trim both ends and burn the stubs with a lighter. Smother with your fingertips when its flush with the nock.

Allen Schafer at Ten Ring Strings ties them on for me. Work real nice - just twist up or down as needed.

I liked this video, mainly because of using the pencil. The pencil allows me to not only see the "hole" better to slide the tag end thru but also that my numb fingers can managed to get it even in it. Thanks a lot for this awesome video.

I might add the string needs to be stretched out tight. Like on the bow. >>>-----> Ken

I use four wraps of 3/4-inch masking tape above and below the arrow nock. You would be surprised at how long it lasts. And, if I want to shoot a different side arrow and change the nock point, I can remove the old and wrap on new tape in a minute or two. Works for me.

Double constrictor knot for me. I use old string or new string material B50 or B55. Works fine for me. But I don't keep it adjustable once I find where it needs to be. Then I tie it on tight. JF

I should have added if you want to move them, squeeze them a couple of times with plairs than rotate up or down per serving direction. When finished, add a couple more drops of Super glue.

You got that right Dan Jones. I'm not one to put super glue on my serving. Waxed string, super glue, not really a match. Besides the hard spot on the serving and string.

X, the serving is a different weight mono so when parallel I don’t get a tight fit; don’t think I haven’t laid in bed awake at night worrying about this but it works this way. With the translucent red you can see the inner workings.

I'm telling on myself but......I have followed instructions from multiple "you-tube" and supposedly "simple" instructions from friends but have never has satisfactory results. I'm sticking with the brass ones.

I've mentioned this before on other string nock topics in the past. I use a simple, minature/4" cable tie or 2 for my nocks. They work great, are simple to use and can even be bought in various colors. I use black as I have many leftover from where I worked before retiring.
When they're located where needed on the serving, pulled tight and then the excess cut off, they're no larger diameter wise than the brass nocks.

I just started tying nocks and use the nail knot method. But I use a 1” length of WD40 spray tube instead of a nail so I can thread the end back through the tube. Since the tube is a small diameter, the knot is just about perfect when you slide the tube out.

How I do tie-on: bow should be strung. I lay a couple of inches of the line I’ll be wrapping along (parallel) to the bow string. I take a separate piece of line six or eight inches long, double it to form a flat loop and lay it also along the bow string.

While holding the tag line and the flat loop, I spin the loose end of the line half a dozen or so times around the bowstring, also encapsulating the tag end and the loop, and finally by passing it through the loop. Then simply use the loop to pull the line end through and pull both ends tight.
Mark your bowstring ahead, once pulled tight it will not move

I've used a common whipping knot for years with #4 nylon serving. Just do 5 or 6 wraps. They'll screw up an down and last the life of the string.

There are some great videos on tying string nocks. I have tried several different ways and my favorite way is from a youtube video from TTT strings. Fast, very easy and uniform.

I did not like the one that tied a series of knots alternating above and below the string.
