Longbow nocking point

Hi everybody!

I spend a lot of time training in long distance terget shooting - so ive recently realised that i dont know whow to make the correct tuning of the bow...

example - the nocking point... I always thought that it must be a little (3-5mm) higher than the "arrow rest" - the hand in the case of longbow. But in the book

"How to train in Archery
Being a complete study of the York Round

By Maurice and Will H. Thompson "

you can read this:
"The proper point on the string to place the arrow is exactly opposite the first wood of the upper limb of the bow appearing above the plush handle"

so for now i am confused...

Do anybody who shoots well at 80-100 yds can give me an advice?
