Is it unusual to have a nock height of 5\\8 or higher to acheive better arrow flight? 60" recurve, 50# @ 28", 31" draw, flipper rest.
45\\60 carbon express arrows. 135gr. point
thanks for any input, BigJohn

I say as long as it's shooting good then you have it right.
Both of my go to bows have 9/16" nock height.
