Nock point question.

[buckeyebowhunter]

I never really had any problems with nock points until I tried the fixed crawl. I really like the fixed crawl but since going to it it seams as though my arrows either fly nock low or nock high. It also seams like arrows are much harder to tune altogether from the fixed crawl. I really like the shooting technique and my accuracy has definitely been more consistent but I also want my arrows to fly correctly. Anyone else experience these issues? And if so what is the remedy.

You're changing the dynamic tiller of the bow big time when you go to a fixed crawl.  Need to experiment with your nock point at different heights to straighten out the arrow flight.  And be sure to use two nock points, one above and one below the arrow.

Thanks for the reply Orion. I always use two nocks. And I've been shooting the fixed crawl on my ilf rig so I should be able to adjust the tiller. How should the tiller be set for crawling? I've always been told even for 3 under so that's what it is now.

[Orion]

I don't shoot fixed crawl, but a lot of folks who do, or even just three under, go to a negative tiller if their bows have the ability to do that. Might give that a try, up to a quarter inch or more negative.

[buckeyebowhunter]

So is negative tiller a stiffer bottom limb or top? In other words which bolt do I need to back off

[Orion]

It's a stiffer upper limb.  You need to back off the bottom limb.

Thanks Orion. I'll give it a shot.

My current hunting bow; 1" crawl for 20 yard point-on; 7/8" nocking point; negative 1/8" tiller. Arrows and bare shafts fly perfectly.
