If a bow is tillered for split finger but you shoot three under how high should the nocking point be?

Thanks,

Personally, I would set the nock at 1" above center and shoot bareshafts knowing that the nock will be high.  Move the nock down about 1/8th" at a time until you're bareshafts are flying just a little nock high.  Like Bear Heart, most of mine end up at 5/8ths to 3/4".  To me it's just faster to set it really high initially and work down, otherwise you risk getting a false high read if you bounce it off the shelf.

Set it to high to start with, I use abotu 7/8, and then let the bow tell you where it should be. The arrow won't lie. Every bow will be different. When I used to shoot three under it varied but somewhere arouns 3/8 to 5/8 depending on the bow. These bows were all tillered for split.

At the point where you get the best arrow flight.  Don't rely on someone else's results.

What NBK said!  Maybe even higher starting point.

I start at whatever the manufacturer of the bow recommends and then go up or down depending on how my bare shafts group. I shoot split fingered and usually end up somewhere around 1/2" to 5/8".
