1/8".  But I shoot split finger.  Most of my bows hover around 3/8" above perpendicular.  Whatever it takes for good arrow flight.

On just about every bow it ends up about 5/8 to 9/16s for me shooting 3 under........tiller of the bow doesnt seem to matter(and thats about 30 different bows with different tiller). Just tune the bow for perfect broadhead flight.
Bowhunting is "KILL and EAT" not "Catch and Release".....Semper Fi!

I shoot 3 under. 5/8" is about the lowest. Most bows for me are between 5/8" and 6/8".

ditto on 5/8" up to 3/4"....shoot 3 under exclusively but don't own a single bow made specifically for 3 under (maybe I should)...I do use double string nocking points....

Seems strange I tend to use a higher nocking point than most and I use a split fingered draw. Every bow I have ever shot liked an nock point between 1/2" - 11/16".

Right around a half inch seems to be the standard for my stick bows, my metal riser ILF stuff is a tad lower. I shoot only 3 under with my barebows too.
