Yes I understand it'll be different for different bows and different Indians, still it's useful info for me anyway.

I usually start at 12" but usually end up at 14-15"ish for my 60" bows.

I think I'm going to fiddle around with the distance today and see what I find.

There is a formula for placement I see used a lot.  3/4 and 2/3 of the distance from limb contact to nock point.  Can't remember which is top or bottom number.  I go by memory any more.
I have a great memory, but it is short.

Starting from top for a 56" string that would be 18.667" and 14", or vice versa.   I like 1/4ish of string length from string groove on both ends.

Trying something new to me.  Got an answer on the other site that 1/4 from top and 1/3 from bottom was professed to be best.  Shooting in the dark is a good test and it seems to work, but without a decibel meter we may never know.  Arrow flight with @745 grain Leopard wood was PDG.  Shooting in the dark between my privacy fence and house provides a good test tunnel, small thump which I hear about same time arrow hits target at 12-15 yards.

Four arrow group this evening.  Last arrow red nock tucked high right.  Light 2315 arrows flying well. Think it's tuned.

That's a good idea, going to take to wool off my string and give this a try.

Wudstix

Possum,
I've found it works as good as anything I've tried.  Price is right.

Will the madness never end?  Picked up another tip on the other site.  Suggested that putting silencers on L/6 and L/10.  "L" being the measurement from string touch points at the groove for longbows and on the limb curve for recurves.  The 1/3 and 3/4 helped quiet the bow and L/6 and L/10 brought back a bit of speed with equal or better quiet.
