Anyone use a high nock point w/ Split???

[skychief]

I shoot split finger.  I find a 3/4"-7/8" nock point   often works best for me (depending on the bow).

Anybody else use nocking points this high with split finger shooting?

I shoot split and most of my bows have around a 1/2" nocking point.But my A&H ACS likes a 5/8" nocking point.

I shoot split, and my nocking point runs the same as yours, with most being 5/8".

I usually start at 3/4 and tune it.. Seems i'm usually 5/8 to 3/4.

Mine used to be that high, but I think generally from raising it to try and compensate for arrows that were not tuned very good.
I recently used Stu Miller's calculator and it allowed me to lower my nock point and get better flight.

Yes, I have for years!

I think it has to do with how YOU release it's all up to you.

I'm old fashioned...the only bow I need a higher nocking point is my 50" Browning Cobra.

I have no idea how high my points are. I snap the arrow on the string, lay it flat on the rest, then slowly move the arrow up and I eyeball the angle the arrow rises up off the shelf.

After all these years I just know at the "proper angle" I'm good. Never had any flight problems. I learned this from an old timer back in the early 70's.

YUP. 5/8" ish

[ozy clint]

mine run at 3/4"

[frank bullitt]

Yeah, Joe Skipp, that's how I set my nock, also!

It is the combination of the bow and how you shoot it.  I have one recurve that tunes best at 5/16 and another that tunes at 1/2.

5\\8" on all our bows, but I don't think I could shoot the difference between 1/2" and 3/4"

[kadbow]

Yep, about 3/4" for me. Arrows fly great.

3/4" for me!

Thanks for all the replies

I shoot half inch.  Tried higher.  Just shoot better at 1/2" and paper tuning agrees with this height.

[PEARL DRUMS]

I shoot self bows 98% of the time and for me a high nock point on split finger usually means a stiff arrow will fly better. But If I drop 5# of spine I can nock just a fuzz above 90 degrees.

5/8 on both my Widders.

Split, usually 5/8" with carbon, higher with fat woodies.  Are you shooting wood arrows?
