I've been noticing a slight porpusing (up and down)I'm sure that's spelled wrong, of my arrows and wear on my felt shelf. should I move my nock point up or down ? Thanks

"There's only two things an arrow wants to do, it wants to fly and it wants to hit its target. It's in its very nature. Don't over think it."

It could've always been, it's a new bow and string, I've put maybe 30 or shots across it. I just noticed it today and one of my feathers had a wee bit of felt stuck under it where the glue meets the shaft and feather

Probably up.  I like to set the nock the thickness of the arrow plus 3/16 of an inch, or a tad more, and then nock under the nocking point.  Adjust as necessary from there.  

Of course, with a new string, it might have stretched while settling in, reducing the brace height considerably.  But that would tend to cause fishtailing, not porpoising.

If your a right hand shooter with right wing fletch then shoot with cock feather in. Or you can try adjusting your nock set.
