I have been working on tuning my Hoyt warf for my hunting arrows shooting with a fixed crawl. My upper nock point needs to be 3/4" above the nock when square to get rid of nock low flight(bare shafts impact higher than fletched). This seems really high to me and I wondered if I can tune this out with more positive tiller? Tiller is set even right now.

Do place the arrow over or under the nock?

I don't think 3/4 is uncommon. I'm at 5/8 on all my bows

"Do place the arrow over or under the nock?" I have a point above and below the nock. The measurement I gave is to the bottom of the upper nock point.

It's part of tuning and what you need may be a lot different than what others do. 3/4 isn't out of the question....the real test is how well it's working with your arrow flight.

Like George said, they are just numbers. None of it matters if your broadheads don't fly true. Best just to do your tuning with broadheads if your going to hunt with this setup.

If anyones gonna hunt with any form of string walking they need to shoot their broadheads they're gonna hunt with as part of their tuning. An arrow that bare shafts won't always shoot accurately with broadheads.

Just for future reference, when you measure the nock location measure to the bottom of the actual nock on the arrow. In your case to the TOP of the lower nock. It makes things much easier to interpret, and the bottom of the arrow is what actually contacts the arrow rest.

You should actually have a slight gap between your upper nock and the nock on the arrow to prevent pinching the arrow at full draw.

Thanks FDP, That makes sense.
