I was just wondering what everyone elses nock point height usually is? does yours change or stay the same? i shoot split just below 5/8ths
I measured mine on bw plv last night and it's at 3/8" above center. Arrows bare shaft really well there for me

All my bows are a touch different, most at around 3/8" above square.
A lot of things can dictate nock height, tiller, grip shape, shooter's grip, etc.....
This is where tuning comes in, good arrow flight will make you a better shot. :thumbsup:
My nock point is 1/2" on all my bows but two .
One is 5/8" and the other is 3/16" .
The one that is 3/16" just surprises me , but the archer shop said they have seen that before .
I shoot 3U and they range from 5/8" above to 3/4" above depending on the bow.
what if you get good arrow flight on multiple positions?
1/2" is a good general hieght. All my bows shoot well there.
Mine are pretty much flat. I can adjust tiller with my ILF equipment to use zero nock height.
3/4" above square shooting three under. Perfect bare shaft with that.
Thought you were asking about my height. Keeps shrinking every year :(
Brace height stays pretty constant right around 5/8" for all my bows shooting 3 under.
Mine is a bit different for each bow I have...I shoot 3 under. Most are very close to the 5/8" above center mark. I have a couple of bows set up with stick on style rests and on those, my nock points are closer to 1/2".
split, 1/2, Pronghorn t/d, 7" bh
9/16" seems to work well for me. I shoot split finger.
I have no idea. Never checked it.
3/8" to 5/8" depending on bow and how it is set up.
"

Fletched shafts make up for tune errors with field points but broadheads may bring them out.
1/8-3/16....I knock over the point.
Mine are set 1/2" above level.

Whatever it takes for the bow. I usually start at 3/8" nock under and work up or down.
I shoot split, and I let tuning tell me where to set my nocking point. On almost every bow I own, that point is between 5/8" and 3/4". My current goto Sarrels Blueridge longbow likes 9/16" for some reason though?

Mine are all 3/8th above the shelf. I tiller my bows for equal limb timing and set the tiller tree up assuming that 3/8th high nocking point.
Are some of you talking about measuring to the bottom nocking point instead of the top?
Split finger and 1/2" to bottom of nocking point on my Bear Kodiak Hunter. I only have one bow so I don't have any to take a comparative sampling. I did use 5/8" on my longbow that I gave my son. He has switched from wood to carbons and it is now 1/2" I believe.
I set all nocks on all bows at 5/8. I don't even have to mess with it anymore. Always the right height.
David; same here. I used to tinker endlessly and always wind up right around 5/8" shooting 3 under. Now, I just set it there and worry about other things.
Mine is 3/8" but I nock above.
I once killed a ground squirrel with a broadhead with a nocking point that was well below square (just threw on a string from another bow and was not paying attention)...I am always amazed by how forgiving a good featherrest is...I agree that nock height deserves little attention compared to other factors in the process of shooting well...I shoot a lot of bows with the strings and nocking points they came with where I have no idea what the nock height is

3/8" above zero in all my bows(300) over the times. Spit fingers.
