Nock high
« on: July 24, 2013, 07:49:00 PM »
I just read another thread where some one mentioned a low point weight could cause nock low.well that has me wondering about two much weight being nock high.I've had a nock high reading all summer by bare shafting.moved nock point up and down till I was blue in the face and just stopped worrying about it .figured it was my form. Funny thing about reading that other thread because I was shooting bare shafts today and it does seem like the points dragging the arrow to the target ,but hits dead on. I'm shooting 2016s  cut 28.5" 150gr head. Pulling 53@27 cut to center. I was considering moving to 200gr but now I wonder I'm only showing about 16 percent FOC have a great day

I have played with that problem as well. I would lower my nock till I was negative and then I would end up with other problems ..... I got reading and finally stumbled on a theory that suggested that even tiller or less positive tiller would allow the arrow to clear the rest and not bounce off it. So basically when one can't go further negative with the nock point one will have to use less positive tiller
I shoot 200grain up front.
Hard to make sence of it but I tillered my bow to even tiller and it corrected my problem.
Hope my poor explanations helps.

I appreciate your input but it's a one piece bow and I'm not knowledgeable enough do that kind of adjustment. That's what I love about this stuff so much to learn. It's not too bad anyway, not like it flies when the nock point really is wrong.and they fly great with feathers.Alabama deer ain't nothing like Canada deer anyway,if I see one like that I'll just shoot three at a time at it! LOL...

I build bows on a hobby level so taking a bit off the glass was not the end of the world.
good luck.

I got a new Bear 59 Kodiak, tail high and left.  If I raise the nock I get rid of the tail left, but nock high is bad.  Tried different strings, brace heights, 3 under split, and arrow spine and weight not having much luck.
