I start at 1/2 inch above zero and never have to change it. I use this on 8 bows and two arrows.

I thought there was something wrong with my set up because I've got mine tuned around 3/8" nock high and I'm shooting 2 fingers under. I'm glad I stumbled in here, now I don't feel stupid for having mine set up that way.

I'm usually from 3/8" to 1/2" on all my bows after bare shaft tuning.

I'm with Jim.......a lot of the nock height will depend on YOUR own specific release of the string. I had always heard that the nocking point height would be higher when shooting 3-under......but for me it isn't.

I'm with the 5/8 guys.  Seems to shoot the best for me.

What are you using to judge if your knock height is right? I guess I'm just wondering if my knock height is right.  I don't know if I moved it if I would know what I was looking for. I have worked in bow shops for years, but I am very new to traditional shooting.
