right on!  split is always right between 3/8 and 1/2 for me as well!

my advice is start at 5/8 and head down.. go a LITTLE at a time.
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD And whose trust is the LORD. Jeremiah 17:7

"There is a way which seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death."  Proverbs 14:12

Most of us will be different, BUT notice we all are pretty close to the 1/2" mark.

Of course how you release the string will have some to do with your best nock locator position.

This is one of the easiest things to check and adjust.  I paper tune. Put newspaper, easel pad paper, wrapping paper, etc. taped or clipped to a frame (open ended cardboard box, picture frame, or special PVC frame). Frame could be about 24"x24".  Set it up at shoulder height and shoot from about 6-8 foot away. Make sure your backstop is at least a complete arrow length from the paper.

High tear, lower the nock locator. Low tear the opposite. Move the locator about 1/16" at a time.

I shoot 3 fingers under. I always start at 5/8" high. I rarely have to adjust. I've owned and tuned 3 widows; PSA, PCH, and PA.
