My cousin who's shooting Olympic style bows showed me how to do string nocks from a tiny stripe of paper soaked in superglue; it's simple, precise, weights close to nothing, and is as accurate as one of these ugly metal rings.
Maybe I'll do a little how-to thread about it!?

Frank, please do! It would be very helpful to oldies and newbies equally.

I used strong thread and superglue, wound from just over the nocking point to about 1 and 1/2 inches up - I stopped using a shooting tab on my  my 47# target bow, and like the bit of padding for my top 2 fingers.
