Most of you place the nock point on the string 3/8" above dead center wheather you place the arrow above the nock point of below.....? If it is above that would give it another 11/32" over for that size of arrow;

I shoot a bow a lot without a nock after I build it. If it is for someone else I don't add a nock so they can set the bow up for themselves but if it is for me I figure where it shoots best and set the nock up for that. I nock over.

I never measure where a nock might go. Shoot the bow, and move the nock up and down until you get the best arrow flight and run with that setting.

I start at about 1/4 above and move up and down until I get the flight I want,then mark and tie it in. I put the arrow below the nock.

It helps to have a B-50 string stretched in, too, or you will be moving it when it finally does stretch.

If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Have read elsewhere that many just place the nock at 3/8" as a starting point or 1/2" and adjust from there. Guess I should of asked what a good starting point was. Makes sense now.
