I am developing a different shooting style and when my arrows come off the shelf the nock slightly kicks up. The arrow hits where I am looking but I would like to get rid of the kick. Is this porpoising? the bottom of the nock is at 3/8. I feel like I have tried moving my nock up and down and seen little difference. I am afraid to move it to much because the arrows are going where I am looking. Bare shafts also hit nock high pretty severe due to no recovery. I tried 145 and 160 grains up front. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks DK
Your nock is off.. Do more playing My nock bottom is at 1/2" 90deg's
I agree with Sal, keep moving that nock til it straightens up. I also suggest 2 nocks if you are only using one. The arrow can drop down the string upon release.
I saw a video on a thread in the shooting forum that really showed it well.
I agree with Danny.
Since I shoot split finger, my single nocksets on both of my recurves is set at 5/8".
Form issues can also cause the same reaction and changing the nock point won't change that.Check to see if your drawing arm elbow is too high.
If you start at the high end, 7/8 or 3/4 and work down from there it should eliminate a false nock high reading from bouncing off the shelf. I had a certain cut of feathers once that shot nock high no matter what I did. I refletched them and all was good.
I get the same thing sometimes and I tried moving the nock everywhere. With me I found out my brace height wasa tad to low and instead of kicking to the left or right I got a little nock bump. A couple of twists of the string and it cleared up for me.
Thanks for the input guys I will bring it up and adjust my brace height to start.
