Nocking point position

Can anybody help, someone told me that from the angle my arrows are entering the target, that my nocking point is in the wrong position. Unfortunately, they didn't say which way to move it !!
Please look at the attached pic and give me your views.

RE: Nocking point position

The nocking point most likely needs to move up. But it depends...

The best thing to do is tune the nocking point, as described on page 33 of Murray's "The Archer's Reference":

RE: Nocking point position



Without seeing a side shot of the target and arrows so we have a reference point its going to be hard to tell, however they do appear to be nock low so I would start by moving the nocking point up, or you can do the same thing by changing the tiller (nock up = screw in top limb or screw out bottom, nock down is opposite).# I mention tiller as this can be provide a lit finer adjustment, and it you use Beiter nock points which are served in then its a load better than having to try and move the serving or replace it.</p>

RE: Nocking point position

The only way to tell is to carry out some bear shaft tuning. Basicly this involves shooting an unfletched shaft at the same point on a target as a fletched one. the position that the arrow (unfletched) lands in relation to the normal arrow will tell you if your nocking point is high or low. It will also tell you if your arrow is the correct spine for your bow . The best thing you can do is to log on to www.easton.com and down load their tuning guide. If it's not in there then it's not worth knowing.
