Newbie question...nock low

Been shooting my Horne's takedown Brush Bow - 60" 45# @ 27" (my draw length). Arrows are AD Trad Lites 29" with 5.5" Shield cut fletching and 200 grain fieldpoints/broadheads. Arrow flight is great but the arrows strike nock low (about 1"-1.5" below centerline) almost without fail. Brace height is correct according to Mark's recommendations at 7 3/8" and my nocking point is set at .5" high. What should I do to correct the nock low impacts? Thanks.

Nock low at what distance? If it's less than 5 yards, the arrow may still be straightening out/going through its normal oscillations before it hits the target. Might need to play with your nock height some more, both up and down. Start with moving it up. Your target material may also be affecting the arrow's orientation when it hits.

Orion,
The distance is 10 yards up to 20 yards. It seems to be more pronounced at 10 yards. Thanks.

Have you bare shaft tuned the arrows? If they are shooting nock low as a bare shaft you may want to raise just a little more. I have found that around 15 yards works well for me when I am bare shaft tunning.
Another thing that can cause the nock low is the release. If your elbow is high or low with relation the arrow you could bump the nock just little.
