Need some help. 60# take down recurve, I have tiller it "even" since I shoot 3 under. I am nocked 3/8 in. high. Bare shaft, the nock end is kicked high. I raised nock point up (at 3/4")until I had no up/down on arrow. My problem, the nock end is kicked to the right. Wasn't doing that at the lower nock point. I am shooting carbon arrows with 20% FOC with total arrow weight at 630 gr. Carbon Express 12 gpi cut at 29.75". I'm stuck.
Sounds like a stiffness problem to me. If you nock high it allows you to shoot a stiffer arrow. So if it didn't kick left and right at 3/8 but did at 3/4 the arrow is most likely too weak. What deflection are they and how much does your insert and tip weigh? What is your draw length?
If your arrow was nock-high on entry at 3/8", then you should have tried lowering the nock a bit...not raise it.
My draw is 28". 300 grains total on tip. 19.6% FOC. Shooting Carbon Express 350 (12 gpi) and Beaman MFX 340. Pronghorn, you think I should take them down some? George, I will try going down slightly. After reading several posts, I only had up on my mind. Should I consider removing the striker? I'm new but willing to learn, Thanks!
Is your bow cut to center? If its not center your arrow will need to be a bit weaker. With 300 on the front and about 30" of shaft I would think 340 deflection is pretty close to right.
George knows a heck of a lot more than I do. It would be easier to start lowering the nocking point and see what happens. My bows always tune up between 3/8 and 3/4 nock point, I shoot 3 under.
How much is it kicking left? Barely or is it huge?
