an unusual problem

[McDave]

If your shelf is wider than the arrow shaft, the nock will strike it and it will register nock high even when properly spines. - Dan Quillian.

This doesn't make much sense to me.  Almost all arrow shelves are wider than the arrow shaft, but when properly tuned and shot with good form, the bare shaft does not register nock high.

I have had this problem before.  Try setting nock point at 1/4" and go up 1/16 at a time until good flight.  You may be nocking way to high.  Also I have found when arrow is way to weak it strikes the side plate and from then on all bets are off.

I am shooting my Orion with ACS recurve limbs, 45@ 28 I draw to 29. I am trying to shoot a 340 with 225 up front, side to side arrow spine seems fine, up and down I'm running into the problems I've described. I'm thinking arrow is way to heavy

Heavy spines that is....been a long day lol

Yikes! I shoot .600 out of most bows up to 48# or so.

340 with 225 up front was recommended by the bowyer. I cut some 400's down to 31" with 225 up front seem to shoot way way better. I hope I get this ironed out soon.wanted to bowhunt turkeys this year
