There's no mystery to measuring but the measurement doesn't really matter. You gotta tune to whatever bow likes and slo mo video is the best way to see that but there's not an exact spot. I personally shoot favoring the higher end where the bow tunes. The gap is shorter that way. I don't shoot gap but split vision and notice arrow sorta in my vision. Less gap helps. It should be mentioned you can't chase tune unless you are tuned in a sense. Pluck the string up, out, especially if you do it like most guys I see and are somewhat inconsistent you'll never get an accurate reading. Worry bout you, than the bow

BG.  Howard Hill nocked above the nock point. Probably the fastest way to get an arrow nocked and shot.  A lot of folks who shoot ASLs emulate the Hill style of shooting and nock above the nock point, using a split finger release. 

I shoot split finger and nock above the nocking point and the bottom of my nock or top of nocking point is at 5/8". Arrows fly great and when paper testing shoot clean holes from six feet.

Thanks Terry. I was not aware that Larry was out of the business !  Since I am not active in the archery business I have not kept up. I. would not even known about the Tuffhead if I had not read about it here.

Abowyer made a good broadhead when Larry owned it I assume that part has not changed!

Thanks for keeping Tradgang  going to keep us old guys informed.
It is a great venue!

Just because one guy made it work doesn't mean it's the best or easiest w all due respect to Howard Hill. Listen I reach all sorts of archery. One guy was a multi state champ. He has some flaws he perfected through hours and hours of practice. Anything done absolutely consistently can lead to the same results. He doesn't teach that way. If someone wants to do things the hardest way that's fine. Just for the rest be advised it's making something already hard, harder

BG said, "Picking above nock would be a bad idea. When we draw back arrow would be pushed higher."

No reason for the arrow to be pushed higher unless one is shooting three under.  Folks who nock above use split finger.  For those who use it, pulling an arrow out of a back quiver and nocking above the nock is the easiest and fastest way to nock the arrow.  All I'm suggesting is that some folks, quite a few actually, do nock above the nock point.  I suspect they find some advantage in it or they wouldn't do it.  There are lots of different styles of shooting. What's best for one may not be best for another.
