Anyone use string nocks?

Just wondering how you guys mark your nocking point.  Back in my compound days, I used a string nock and it worked great, but not sure if it would work out so well with a longbow.  Also, how do you determine the correct point to nock your arrow?  By feel, or is there some precise way of doing it?  Thanks!

I use a nock on most of my bow strings. On some real primitive bows I don't.
  Generally I start off with the nock point set at 3/8" above horizontal then fine tune from there.
I nock my arrows above the nock point.

When you say "horizontal" you mean when the arrow is perfectly horizontal while it's sitting on the rest?  Then you nock 3/8" above that?

DanaM:
I use a unwaxed dental foss set in super glue for a nock point, also have use the brass crimp on ones

Hillbilly:
I always use a nock of either brass or wound-on thread unless it's a replica-type bow.
