God speed Randy!!!!!

I'm not a 3-under shooter, but can offer suggestions......

First, I'd recommend you adjust your tiller bolts to even tiller vs your 1/8" positive setting.

Next, use 2 nock points (1 above the nock and 1 below) and don't have them tight against the nock--leave a bit of wiggle room.

Last, start with a 3/4" nock height and work down.

Good luck! 

Congratulations to your friend, from what I have read it is well deserved. Hope you and your friends have a nice visit to the USA.

I will be there, this will be my ninth or tenth PBS Banquet. Ask around, it will not be hard to find me.

Too much FOC can make nock high hard to tune out on a bare shaft??..have you done any experimentation with nock tension? (how tight they fit serving)..You could try moving one string silencer a long way so they are unequally spaced from limb tip (if you are running any) just ideas..You might try 1"  nock point  height..and work backwards..to prove you aren't getting nocks high from bouncing off shelf\rest from being too low..work the problem from way too high back down.. I only use tie on points..and screw them up or down the serving to adjust slowly..I've never had good luck with crimp on nock points..ever.

I too always get nock high when bare shaft tuning. I never worry about it too much as long as it's not crazy high, if your arrow is sticking in the target almost vertical then I'd say it's something to do with your release/finger pressure.

Put feathers on and see what it's doing.

Thanks for the input, folks! Very much appreciated.
When I first got this bow, I found a picture of an American Archery Cheetah Supreme that has the same riser shape as the Pro Supreme and thought that maybe mine was a Cheetah that with a modified riser. Thanks to your input, I found a 1968 catalog, and it looks like the Pro Supreme either modified or possibly a prototype?

I've been trying to get rid of nock high with bare shafts to no avail.

Shooting 3 fingers under
Tried nock point 1/2" as well as 5/8" without success.
Tiller is 7 1/4 on top limb and 7 1/8 on bottom.
Shooting 64 inch recurve with 36# uukha alpha ILF limbs at my 28" draw
Brace height is 8 1/2"

Suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Superglue sticks to almost everything so I didn't want to try it!

Thank you, I wasn't sure about the sasafrass just read someone talking about using it. I'm just blessed with it here, firewood and interior wall covering is about all I have found it's good for.
I hate I waited to build a new bow just in time to read your retirement notification lol
