Nock point question

[threeunder]

Got to thinking about a question r/t nock point location.

Is the height of the nock point above center a variable from bow to bow for the same shooter?

For example, if I have 5 longbows I've different make/model, is my nocking point going to measure the same above center on all 5 bows because that's what works for my form?  Or would it vary from bow to bow, even though I'm using the same form in shooting each bow.

All of the bows I shoot all seem to prefer the same nock point height whether longbow or recurve. Usually at 5/8ths above center.

I have a few different makes and models they all seem to like 9/16 for me.

I agree with the previous repondents.  I used to try to tune individual bows to optimize nock height, but always seeemed to end up with the same measurement (5/8ths inch in my case). I tend to think it's more a factor of your release (split vs. 3-under), anchor, form, etc.  Not that some bow's tiller may affect it and your mileage may vary.  I also found that there's a technique variable that comes into play when you prefer a rest material with "give", like the sealskin that I use. In other words, if you get a bit sloppy with the downward pressure on the square when you clip it to the string, your measurement can vary. The bow squares that have a rounded rod don't seem to be as prone to this, but I prefer the precise markings on the Potowatomi type.  It has a thin aluminum blade, but I split a section of old aluminum shaft and attached it where the square lays across the rest to make attachment more "repeatable". Then I marked my desired nock height on the scale with a Sharpie.

I check em all but 5/8ths for this 3-under shooter (curves) is what I almost always end up at.  I would think it could change but your physique and shooting style may impact this more than other factors?  I wonder if different nock fits from arrow to arrow might impact nock locator position (tendency to porpoise)?

I like olddogribs idea of splitting a shaft to put over the square blade. I had one recurve years ago that needed a real high nock point seems it was around 7/8 it shot good just needed the high nock point for some reason.
