Another tuning variable

[buzz lite beer]

If you have got the urge to try and improve grouping here's another option that is often overlooked and that's nock to string fit, found out by accident (purchased the "wrong" size serving some time back) that by increasing the diameter of my serving getting a tighter nock fit from the recommended:- "a sharp tap of the bowstring should release the arrow from the string" actually improved my scores and reduced grouping considerably, now whether this was down to the weight increase incurred by the thicker serving, or entirely due to altering the nock fit I don't know but I do know that there was a marked improvement in results immediately after re-serving my string.

This is why I recently decided to try the Beiter Nocking Point that go with the Beiter nocks. This makes sure the nock-and-string fit is always the same.

It is a two-part plastic thingie that goes right over the string and is attached using serving thread. The only drawback is that one has to know his correct nocking height beforehand.

Also make sure your serving thread does not tend to slip or "creep"

Yet using the Beiter Arrow Rest is a good thing since the nocking height can then be adjusted very precisely

I have been using the beiter nock points for a long time, and more recently the Beiter adjustable rest. They do recomend a different offset for the fletchings with respect to the string, a Y arrangement with one feather pointing straight down, rather than having the #### feather sticking straight out.
There are alternative rests - many of the 'wrap around' rests provide a more conventional wire support and can also be adjusted, although not quite so conveniently as the beiter. In any case, these only allow fine adjustments, so be prepared to tune the setup, then re-serve the string using the position arrived at, and then finally use the rest adjustment to do final fine tuning (or compensation for the nock point not ending up exactly where you thought you had put it!)

I have just found this very interesting thread with a great trick for moving the Beiter Nocking Point
