if you cnsider the nocking point to be so unimportant why do you bother measuring it at all?
I only every measure the nocking point position once - when I make a string. But I want a new string to be identical to the previous ones.

Point I'm making is that there is no point busting a gut trying to 'tune' a nocking point to some hypothetical highly accurate position with the bare shaft approach as you are just moving about between various thereabouts settings.

Gunmender - I like the Beiter rest design as much as I dislike the wrap round rest concept; opposite ends of how to design an arrow rest spectrum and have one in the box. I and a lot of other archers have tried the Beiter and found problems with it. I think (speculatively) that the finger needs to be replaced with a hinged wire.
