Title: Lowest nocking pt. You ever had?
Post by: PastorSteveHill on December 22, 2012, 11:44:00 PM
What is the lowest you've ever had on a bare bow for teh arrow to shoot good?  
Especially wanna hear from those who shoot 3 under...

Thnx

Merry Christmas everybody.

1/8".  But I shoot split finger.  Most of my bows hover around 3/8" above perpendicular.  Whatever it takes for good arrow flight.

On just about every bow it ends up about 5/8 to 9/16s for me shooting 3 under........tiller of the bow doesnt seem to matter(and thats about 30 different bows with different tiller). Just tune the bow for perfect broadhead flight.

I shoot 3 under. 5/8" is about the lowest. Most bows for me are between 5/8" and 6/8".

ditto on 5/8" up to 3/4"....shoot 3 under exclusively but don't own a single bow made specifically for 3 under (maybe I should)...I do use double string nocking points....

Seems strange I tend to use a higher nocking point than most and I use a split fingered draw. Every bow I have ever shot liked an nock point between 1/2" - 11/16".

Right around a half inch seems to be the standard for my stick bows, my metal riser ILF stuff is a tad lower. I shoot only 3 under with my barebows too.
