All my bows are a touch different, most at around 3/8" above square.
A lot of things can dictate nock height, tiller, grip shape, shooter's grip, etc.....
This is where tuning comes in, good arrow flight will make you a better shot.

My nock point is 1/2" on all my bows but two .
One is 5/8" and the other is 3/16" .
The one that is 3/16" just surprises me , but the archer shop said they have seen that before .

I shoot 3U and they range from 5/8" above to 3/4" above depending on the bow.

Mine are pretty much flat. I can adjust tiller with my ILF equipment to use zero nock height.

Thought you were asking about my height. Keeps shrinking every year :(
Brace height stays pretty constant right around 5/8" for all my bows shooting 3 under.

Mine is a bit different for each bow I have...I shoot 3 under. Most are very close to the 5/8" above center mark. I have a couple of bows set up with stick on style rests and on those, my nock points are closer to 1/2".

9/16" seems to work well for me. I shoot split finger.

3/8" to 5/8" depending on bow and how it is set up.
"

Fletched shafts make up for tune errors with field points but broadheads may bring them out.

I shoot split, and I let tuning tell me where to set my nocking point. On almost every bow I own, that point is between 5/8" and 3/4". My current goto Sarrels Blueridge longbow likes 9/16" for some reason though?

Mine are all 3/8th above the shelf. I tiller my bows for equal limb timing and set the tiller tree up assuming that 3/8th high nocking point.
