Just a guess, but there is a good chance that I am wrong.  But I would figure a shallow nock would be more accurate because it would spend less time on the string.

I agree with Rick....and the shorter nock ears would have less chance of interfering with the string.

Shorter ones fly better but can be hard to stay on the string,longer ones stay on the string better if you have an arrow on the string,but can/may not fly as well if too long.....Maybe.....

I like about 3/8" deep.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Some of the old timers(even older than me  :o ) would have one ear of their nock shorter than the other and use it as an indicator and for speed loading when shooting repetitive arrows quickly. Looks kind of cool too.

I cut nocks in I think 13 arrows over the weekend. Probably averaged between 5/16" and 3/8" in depth. Six of them were river cane and I glued inserted dowels first for added support. The others were tonkin and they were almost solid core. I plan to wrap below the nocks with sinew for support.
