Can't seem to find the proper nocking point everything I do it is reading high when shooting into the bale.

Curious what's your arrow specs, bows specs and your draw length?

Nocking point location finds the sweet spot where both limbs return to battery in unison and stops the arrow from wagging its tail up and down, and really has nothing to do with the attitude of the arrow in the target.The target media can change the attitude of the arrow. It can be quite different for each shooter and depends on how you hold the bow, the string and the position of your drawing elbow as well as the tiller of the bow.

Are you saying nock high? Some people will have nock high because of something in their release and not the nock location.

Yes nock high. The bow is a Bear green stripe b riser 48#lb draw 60" bow. Arrows are 500 spine 29" with 100 grain inserts and 125 points. I draw 28"

As Aromakr said. Nocking point can be different for ever one. Split,3 under, the pressure of individual fingers on the string,arrow rest material all make a difference. Pretty much trial and error to fine the sweet spot for good flight,bare and fletched grouping together vertically. Target medium can effect arrow attitude. With most bows,mine seems to always come out real close to 5/8" above shelf or arrow rest.Good luck. >>>----> Ken

I run mine with similar specs at 5/8 shooting 3 under off the shelf. I'd say start at 1/4 and work your way Up. Remember you can get false nock high. Shoot at 15 yards or so into a good block target

If you arrow is flying nock high, move the nock point down!!!
