3/4 knock point

[Aaron2k5]

I was told to set my knock 3/4 on my howatt hunter, I  have great arrow flight, but I can't aim it! I'm all over the Target now, because I'm over thinking my shots, trying to adjust. Should i set it back down to a half inch and keep replacing my rug rest?

[SERGIO VENNERI]

In my opinion, leave it at 3/4" and get used to it. You are beating yourself mentally.

[wtpops]

Try it at 5/8" and see how it goes.

[huntmaster80]

I agree. just give it some time and see if it grows on ya.

[Aaron2k5]

It's difficult because I'm finally experiencing target panic I believe

[Aaron2k5]

One more question, my square has 2 lines indicating the top and bottom of the knock. Do I go 3/4 from the top line or 3/4 from the center?

[stickem1]

I always go from center.

Leave the nock point close to what you have it. You may want to move it up or down maybe 1/32 -1/16th. Howats love a high nock point. To really find its sweet spot you need to send a bareshaft.

In regards to accuracy, stop aiming your bow. Pick a spot, look through it, release.

Don't fret accuracy yet until you have really dialed in tuning that bow.
I always measure nock height from top of shelf to top of nock on arrow (bottom of nock point. But if thats correct I don't know...

BTW, when I got to the testing broadhead part of tuning my groups were about 12 inches large at 20 yards. Two twists of the string and they shrunk to 4 inches.

I go from the bottom of the two lines because my arrow sits on the shelf at the bottom line. Then I set it at 5/8" high off the shelf on my bows. I've always used 5/8" no matter what brand of bow I've owned.

First of all forget that TP crap. You don't have it. What you have is a momentary lack of confidence because of equipment change.

Nock height is measured from level with the arrow rest to the bottom of the arrow nock. (whether you put nocking point above or below nock is irrelevant.
     

The height of the nock on the string will often be different for each archer. (may require some fiddling to find the best height) It's purpose is to keep the arrow from porpoising (up and down movement) on the way to the target and that's all.

It's usually best to have the nock only as high as needed to prevent porpoising. Higher than that is not beneficial.

I just reset my own hunter to a higher nocking point, and I'm finally getting good arrow flight. Mine is set at 5/8 inches. There was a noticeable difference from when I brought it down from 3/4 for me.

It took me a while to get used to it...just focus on the target, shoot one arrow at a time. Maybe move up to ultra close range (<5yds) to build up your confidence some...as long as your arrow flight is good, you just have to train your mind to the arrow trajectory.

[JRY309]

I set the nock height on my Hunter at 1/2",I get excellent flight from mine.You just need to play with your nock height until you find your sweet spot.

[2treks]

Charlie got it,as always. don't make it hard.
Get your arrows flying good and go stump shoot.Always good for clearing the mind and hunting practice.

[Jake Diebolt]

Ah, stumping...the true gentleman's/lady's pastime.

[PaddyMac]

check your brace height, too.

I got a new string and as it stretched, I monkeyed with the nock pt and got lost in the weeds faster than a 8-month-old setter.

[Aaron2k5]

This makes so much sense!  My knocking point was at an inch then, not only was it goofy looking, I couldn't look down it right. I'll let you all know how it goes once I correct it and shoot it

[Gordon martiniuk]

the kiss method keep it simple stupid,, 3/4 " sounds good to me I just eyeball nock point 1/2" for my release style is too low don't think about it being too high especally if you are getting good arrow flight which is what we are after your eye will get used to it fool with brace height which will make your bow more forgiving when you find the right brace height
