Do you place your fingers right under the nock or do you place them down the string and if you do, how far?

I place my fingers right bellow the nock on the string where my top finger is just touching the nock, I find that if I put too much pressure on the nock it affects my shooting

I agree exactly with Ian Johnson my experience has been the same.

If I place my top finger right uer the nock, my arrows flies low. I place my top finger approx a half inch below the nock and it is very accurate this way for me. Any input?

I agree with Mr. Johnson, if I "pinch" the nock I don't get consistant arrow flight.
I've learned that walk in the woods with my father as a child did wonders for me as an adult.

In Norway we shoot after Fita rules and for competition we must have at least one finger touching the arrow.

craftwelder

I shoot with the nock lightly touching my index finger at full draw.

I do the same thing BMOELLER does - keeps me from pinching the nock.
Don't meddle in the affairs of dragons; people are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

It will not matter in the woods, but at many 3D shoots you must have a minimum of one finger touching the nock at full draw.
