Bow tuning

Do you guys put the nock point on the string 1/8" above center and do you nock the arrow below it.  Does it really affect anything putting the nock point 3/8" above center or more. I shoot split.

everyone will have their own idea- but this is what i do- i shoot 3 under- and i like two nocks- tied on nocks- look at S2 bowstrings- he has some great tutorials for that. i tie the nocks just a tad further apart than the arrow nock- so when the bow is drawn back and the string is drawn to an apex- that the tied on nocks arent pinching the arrow nock, and jambing themselves into the nock- but too much play may result in imperfect flight- i would imagine.

with 2 nocks the arrow does not slide around on the string, say while an arrow is nocked while i am sitting, and my draw hand is not on the string.
anyway just my thoughts.

Thanks for the link fuji... I'm getting lazy in my old age that looks to much like work.    :rolleyes:
adjustable is the way to go no doubt.  I'am using dental floss and have to cut off.

cool!    
i think those brass nocks can tear up a glove/ tab a bit, and have heard of them scratching the ol lips up a bit. - but maybe there is a right and a wrong way of installing them- i am just too cheap to buy the brass nocks and the special pliers etc etc.
th'dll make the ol gal sad- gettin' me smoochers all torn up   :D

I set the nock point 3/8" above perpendicular to the shelf. I put the arrow below it. This puts the bottom of the arrow nock 1/8" above the shelf as it passes.

I generally don't have to move it because I use that specific nock location throughout construction, tillering, timing, etc.

id use a tie on type knock start at 3/8 above and move until you find that sweet spot. there is no one position

Good explanation Junkie.
I found a file on my Puter that shows where to put the nock point.  Have been doing it wrong for the last few years.....My nock point was set to low.  

 

Thanks guys for all your help.....
