x2. You may find you also need a little more tip weigh when it comes to broadhead and bareshaft tuning.

But two tracks is right, sounds like contact with the shelf. Also might try shootign cock feather in instead of out (in addition to nock point)... sometimes that can reduce shelf contact.

alright thanks guys! would you recomend moving the knock point up or down? I think I need to re glue the padding on my shelf also, becouse its coming up on the side closest to me . It wasnt effecting where I hit, or my feathers so I hadnt messed with it , but mabey I whould

use a bow square and usually if the arrow is close to square with the knock I try moving up first...use tape as a knock till you find the sweet spot then put on your knock.

good luck...

Tape is an awsome Idea! I was wondering how to adjust it without messing up my nock bushing

Bigb3303, The best way to adjust the string nock is to paper tune, take a cardboard box,cut the top & bottom out, Tape a Sheet of news paper to the front of the box. Place it about 3 ft. from your target, Stand about 6 ft. facing target, shoot arrow thru paper, Rip high, Lower nock. Rip low, rise string nock....James

First off, I would get your nocking point set vertically correct first as two tracks said, then once you had that right I would start cutting them off an inch at a time and find the best spine. I think your bullets are way too long for your draw length. Of course if you like them long thats fine to.

A low nocking point can also cause the bare arrow to hit nock high because it deflects off the shelf. Checking first with a bow square like trbltrbl said is a good idea.

Just an update, I glues my rest back good, and moved my knock point up and they are flying like darts! I am shooting better then I ever have now! Thank you guys!
