Looking for a good starting point for a sting nock. Who has set one up before?

If you're shooting split finger a good starting point would be about 3/8" to 1/2" if shooting 3 under about 9/16" to 3/4" Brace height from 7 3/4" to 8 1/2" My 70 Super-K prefers 8 1/4" with a 5/8" nocking point. I shoot 3 under. Hope this helps.

like where to start?

Depends if split or 3 under.  To be safe, i would just start around 3/4".  The best way for me to start is with a bare shaft, even if it is out of tune spine wise, it will still tell you the truth about nock high or low, at least in my findings.

honestly, there is not a better way, in my opinion, than to shoot a bare shaft.  It will tell you exactly what you need to do.  The trick is, start around 3/4" so you know you have to go down.  

The nock will befin to go down and then raise up again.  When it flies perfectly straight, you are there.

I like my bareshafts to hit nock high...I will always err on the high side when it comes to nocking point
