Are you raising your nock point a little to tune for this?

jonesy,

My Black Widow ended up being 5/8 above center and that did it. Took me a while to go above 1/2", as I kept insisting that 5/8 was too high, but when I finaly did, it turned out perfect. Funny, if I went an additional 1/8" above the 5/8" I was WAY Nock High. Go as high as almost 3/4 if you need to. If that does not do it, start over at 3/8. You may be too high and your arrow is bouncing off the shelf (giving you a false "nock high"). Rest easy tonight and try again tomorrow. You'll find the SWEET SPOT!

FQII is right also, but I bet you started down there.
Only move the nock about 1/32" at a time

one other trick if that doesn't work. If your serving is thin or your arrow nocks are sloppy, try a double nock. One above and one below, but not too tight. I've got a couple bows that the arrows tend to slide on the string at release and showing nock high no matter where I had the nock. with 2 nocks I started shooting bullet holes.

If your bareshafting by point of impact and nock is high than lower it. Fore some raeson, I like a real high nock on all my bows. 7/8ths to an inch above center. I believe Bob Morrison also has a high nocking point. I spoke to him a couple times and he thinks it has to do with the way we apply pressure to the arrow. Shawn

All of my bows whether longbow or recurve are set at 9/16" above center. I have found  that is the perfect heighth for me no matter the bow.
