There has been a lot of discussion about nocking points on the boards but no one has mentioned what height they nock at. I know that this depends on the state of tune of each individual set up but there does not appear to be a definitive way of measuring it. In the archers reference by Murray Elliot the arrow is shown below a nock point and is measured from a point level with the rest to the bottom of the nock while in the Easton tuning guide it is measured from the same point but to the top of the arrows nock. Thus 2 archers talking nock points could both seem to have the same nock height but be very different. Why do we not have a standard which takes the centre of the arrows nock as a reference point? Just a thought but seeing as most other measurements are taken in a standard way it seems odd, could also cause a lot of confusion to new archers.
