NOCK - Above or Below?

[straitera]

Biggest shoot wreck I ever had was after switching to knock point under. First day, all was well. After, couldn't hit a big butt Missouri mule w/handful of rocks! Not sure why? Point, find what you like & stay with it. Split finger shooter here.

I place my arrow above the nocking point. Quicker to get off a second shot (if necessary) without looking at the string and taking your eyes off the game. If you have the bad habit of torquing the string, nocking the arrow above keeps the fingers of the draw hand from moving the arrow down on the serving and causing the arrow to strike the shelf when released.

Also, when using a back quiver, drawing the arrow by the nock, allows you to feel the nock index, trap the string with the finger/thumb in a fluid motion. Almost any other type of quiver the arrow is drawn by the shaft and then slide the arrow into position to nock it.

I nock above.I use a back quiver and it is faster for me to draw the arrow from the quiver and slide the arrow nock down to the string nock instead of going below it and sliding up to the string nock.It has allowed me to quickly make a second shot even on rabbits.

Must all be in the type of motion you've become accustomed to. I put the arrow below the nock point. Can do it very fast and without looking. I've tried nocking above, but can't seem to even find the string if not looking or in a hurry.

I've always nocked below until a couple of years ago. Now I simply add extra layers of serving both above and below my nocking point, now I can slip up or down till I hit the spot where the arrow nock will slip on. Truth is, its easier than it sounds, after 40yrs of shooting it becomes pretty much habit.
