Attention 3 Under Shooters

[Rebel Yelp]

Where do have your nock point set?

 

[3Under]

It depends on the bow and how it was originally tillered.

It's greater for bows that were tillered for "split fingers" than those that are tillered for three under. Apprximately 9/16" to 11/16" above square (to the underside of the nock) on bow tillered for split fingers.

On bows that were tillered for three under, it is 1/2" to 5/8" above square to the underside of the nock.

I use fast Flight string with over hand and under hand knots for a string nock. Lighter ten a metal nock and you can screw it up and down with out tools. I start about 1/2 inch high and shoot till all my arrows are strainght into the target and I leave it there.

[McDave]

Generally, between 5/8" and 3/4", depending on the results of bare shaft testing.  My goal is to attain a slight nock high (maybe 5 degrees nock high).

[Bowwild]

I'm at 1/2" to bottom top of the nock.

[BobW]

even more with a long draw...

[hvyhitter]

All my bows end up about 9/16 to 5/8. Doesnt seem to really matter the tiller of the bow for me.

[jess stuart]

Usually about 5/8" depending on the bow.

I have never shot 3 under so don't have a clue on that style.  For most of my bows shooting split fingers I seem to wind up about 1/2" above square measured at the bottom of the knock.  I was into making self bows for a while and shot off my knuckle.  What I learned was that you should set the knock just high enough that the feathers didn't "burn" your finger.  I by full lenght feathers and burn them 1/2" high.  I suspect there is a correlation here.

I paper tune my bow so if I am tearing up or down then I move it accordingly.

[ncsaknech1ydh]

Mostly around 3/4"

[damascusdave]

I started shooting 2 fingers under today and it was working quite nicely with my 42 pound Howatt Ventura.

I have done no adjusting of the nock point with any of the bows I shoot 3 under. I just left them where the previous owners had them. I will fine tune things this winter.

[Jack Whitmire Jr]

5/8" no matter split or 3 under for me .

[thunder1]

Not much else to say on this subject. They covered it well

[dpowers311]

1/2 in. to mid nock. I set it there because that is what gave me the best arrow flight.

[Red Tailed Hawk]

My recurve is tillered for 3 under and i set the nock 1/4" high. My longbow is tillered for split and I set the nock 1/2" high.

[smokin joe]

With my bows tillered for 3 under the nock height is about 1/4" to 3/8" depending on the bow. For the bows tillered for split, the nock height was about 1/2"

[droptine82]

7/8ths

[metsastaja]

Like most everything else in traditional shooting, it is what works best for the individual.
