Hi all. I got a Browning Nomad Stalker 1 in 70# that i'm trying to tune to work with some new GoldTip Traditional .300 spine arrows with 300gr tips. I started out bare shaft tuning with nocks up and left indicating weak spine and high nock. I decided to work on the arrow spine first. And ended up cutting them down to 30.5" when they straightened out. Still nock high.
The nock was currently set at 1/2" high so i started dropping it down 1/8" at a time. The bare shafts were always nock high. Finally got down to around 1/4" above level and they got worse (still nock high) so I figured I started off too low and raised it all the way to 5/8" above level and still nock high! I've shot them at 15, 20 and 25 yards and the bare shafts are impacting the same or perhaps a little worse at distance.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. It seems no matter where I put the nock, the bare shafts are always impacting the target with the nocks high. Any ideas?
Try rasing the nock point. You are probably geting nock high do to the arrow bouncing off the shelf. Also if you shoot 3 under start out at 5/8.
I shoot split finger but I'll start off at 5/8" today and go up to see if it gets better. Seemed that 3/8" or so flew better than 5/8" but i'm willing to try anything.
