Is it unusual to have a nock height of 5\\8 or higher to acheive better arrow flight? 60" recurve, 50# @ 28", 31" draw, flipper rest.
45\\60 carbon express arrows. 135gr. point

thanks for any input, BigJohn

Thats where I set the nock height on my A&H ACS,thats where it shoots best at for me.Most of my others bows usally are around 1/2".But my A&H liked 5/8" better and I shoot split finger.

Same here as well.  It's whatever works for you.
Stickbows, Sidelocks and Flyrods, anything to make it more of a challenge!

and my original longbow I used as a kid.

I say as long as it's shooting good then you have it right.
Both of my go to bows have 9/16" nock height.
Zona Custom Recurve: 60" 49# @ 27.5".
Sky Sky Hawk Recurve: 60" 47# @ 27.5".
