Title: tuning question
Post by: txcookie on September 19, 2016, 08:38:00 PM
I added 2nd knocking point the the string under the knock. Bow went crazy ,,,, started hitting left and had a hard kick in the arrow. Removed it and bam all is well again. What on earth happened?

nocking points to close and squeezing your nock to tight?

That is the only thing I could imagine might cause what you describe. When you nock your arrow on the string, there should be 1/16"-1/8" space between the bottom of the nock and the bottom nock point.

Agree with fireball.  Give a bit of room to eliminate nock pinch.

Don't know if this will help I agree with some room from top to bottom nock, but all my bow have double nock so i have a 58" recurve that is my go to hunting bow but the same thing happened so I removed the bottom nocking point and bam thing are dead on. I draw 29 1/2" but on my 62" and 64" bows I need tow mocks.  I shoot 3 under.  Bob

Are you using tie on nock points

Sure was glad I read this. My Leon Stewart recurve was consistently shooting left and noisier than I thought it should be. Checked my bottom nock and it was closer to the nock than normal. Cut it off and now it shoots great. Sure saved me a head ache.
