nock height ?
« on: March 25, 2011, 07:40:00 PM »
Is it unusual to have a nock height of 5\\8 or higher to acheive better arrow flight? 60" recurve, 50# @ 28", 31" draw, flipper rest.
45\\60 carbon express arrows. 135gr. point

thanks for any input, BigJohn

Thats where I set the nock height on my A&H ACS,thats where it shoots best at for me.Most of my others bows usally are around 1/2".But my A&H liked 5/8" better and I shoot split finger.

I say as long as it's shooting good then you have it right.
Both of my go to bows have 9/16" nock height.
