Title: Nock Location Help???
Post by: cashhere on May 02, 2008, 11:57:00 PM
:help:  Been out to the barn a while tonight shooting a few of my bow.
I am having difficultiy getting the nocking height set, as I have been bare shafting 3 diff bows. I have pulled my hair out on a Bear A wood with #1 50# limbs. I will get close but I continually have the shaft entering nock up. I feel like I have walked from all nut 0 to 1/2" above on the nock.
Any input or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I got the B wood and a Tomahawk shooting very nice (bareshafting) both about the same weight.....HELP...Dave    :help:

Ken Beck told me to try a nock above and one below.  I had been using a single nocking point at 7/8's.  On one of my bows I move it to 3/8's above and one below - PRESTO!!!

Didn't try it with one of my other main bows yet.

I am shooting split finger, been shooting into hay bails, using a single nock at .375 this setting has always been where I end up on my recurves, I will mess with it a bit again later today...
