What is the brass ring on a bow string?

First off, in case people do not know, the arrow has two ends. One is the tip with the actual impact point, and the other is the end with the vanes "feathers". On the end with the vanes there is a notched piece called a nock. The nock is what clips onto the bow string. Now, the brass ring is used as a mark to seat your arrow at. When nocking your arrow, that is putting it on the string, you slide the nock of the arrow up to where it is touching the brass ring. The nock would sit under the ring, in essence giving you the same nocking point every time which allows for more consistent shot placement.
