nocking points to close and squeezing your nock to tight?

That is the only thing I could imagine might cause what you describe. When you nock your arrow on the string, there should be 1/16"-1/8" space between the bottom of the nock and the bottom nock point.

Agree with fireball. Give a bit of room to eliminate nock pinch.

Don't know if this will help I agree with some room from top to bottom nock, but all my bow have double nock so i have a 58" recurve that is my go to hunting bow but the same thing happened so I removed the bottom nocking point and bam thing are dead on. I draw 29 1/2" but on my 62" and 64" bows I need tow mocks. I shoot 3 under. Bob

Sure was glad I read this. My Leon Stewart recurve was consistently shooting left and noisier than I thought it should be. Checked my bottom nock and it was closer to the nock than normal. Cut it off and now it shoots great. Sure saved me a head ache.
