nock high

[roncc]

I have a longbow, that no matter what I do, it shoots nock hight as verified thru paper and bare shaft.  The 1 piece is even tiller between the top and bottom limbs.  I shoot split fingered.  I don't believe form is an issue since my other bows shoot fine and like bullets bare shaft.  I've tried putting more emphasis on the lower 2 fingers, hoping that would help... but,  doesn't.  My grip is the same with all bows as far as I can tell.  Any ideas?  thanks

I was told to try raising my brace height about 1/4". It worked for me after all else had failed.

Ron,

How high is your nocking point on the string?  I also think you will do better with the lion's share of the weight on the index and middle finger and just a little on the ring finger.

Arne:  1/2".  ok, I'll give that a try.  thanks

Jock:   thanks, I'll try that also.

Nothing wrong with 1/2", but shooting split I wouldn't be afraid to try 3/8ths or 1/4" on a bow tillered for 3U.

Let us know how it worked out

I finally got THIS bow to NOT shoot 2" high nock tears.  
 I shoot split finger and try to have my tab pressure of approx.  index 40%, middle finger: 50%;  ring finger: 10%.
That works fine for all my other bows.
   
With this bow however, I found the only way to get bullet holes thru the paper is putting equal pressure on all 3 fingers.  Even though the bow is shot split fingered and was ordered that way, this bow was tillered even tiller.  Do you think that might be the reason I have to put even pressure on all 3 fingers to get it to shoot properly?

That would be my guess, bows for split are ususally positively tillered, even for 3U. I shoot 3U and for me, some bows do best a bit negative.
