Most of my bows are 1/2" , I have one that is 9/16" and I have a long bow that is 3/16" .
That long bow baffles me but it shoots like a lazer .

I always get confused by nocking point heights, it seems some are talking about under the arrow and some are talking about above the arrow. Above the arrow changes with arrow width, nock styles and whether or not the arrow is tapered.

Dead square from the string to the highest point on the shelf is O. You measure from there to the nock point. Actual center of the nock is lower so if you measure from O to the nock and get 5/8 your actual center of arrow is probably 1/2 inch or there abouts.
I square and go up about a quarter inch and set my nock . Usually its pretty close for me but I do not shoot a really deep hook and my top finger is not as deep as my bottom two. Always shot that way and It would really mess with me to change that now.
God bless, Steve

5/8 for me. I get a little too much feather contact and pick up a waggle if I go lower. Black Widow PCH.

like you said in your original post.... it "depends on the bow."..... it also depends on where the pressure point on your grip is being applied and how well balanced the limbs are.... you'll also find a wide variety of shelf height and grip locations on different bows.....

I'm glad Kirk mentioned limb balance, so I can ask this without hi-jacking the thread. Does tiller effect nock point? If the same person owned two similar bows, but one has an even tiller, and the other has maybe a 1/4" positive tiller, would say the positive tillered bow end up with a lower nock point?

Usually never that high. I shoot what tunes best. I don't just choose. What ever my bare shaft arrow tells me that's what I do.
Honestly. I think most grad guys are better off with a rest. But that's too untraditional for most to wrap there heads around so they won't do it.
That will give better flight.
