Craze nock point?

[richwrench]

Any opinions about the proper nock height on a Mission Craze? It's a twin-cam bow, so should it have a lower nock point than a Solocam? I've tried a couple different spots, but I really can't tell any difference. This is the first modern bow I've owned, so I don't have a lot of experience with fine-tuning. My local pro-shop made me a Great deal on the bow, but he's not much for tuning - everybody get a brass nock 1/4" high & that's it. There's no other pro-shops around here so I really need to figure this out on my own. I learned on this site that I can spin my D loop around to move the nocking point up or down. Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks, Rich

On my monster it's centered with the hole in the riser for the rest screw. Here's a pic of what mine looks like.......

Got it. Set mine exactly perpendicular to the bowstring & it shoots flat & groups well. Tried going up in 1/8" increments & the arrows started spiraling & spreading. Thanx

Actually, a brass nockset 3/16" to 1/4" above square is not such a bad place to start. Think about it. That nockset is where the top of the nock will be. The bottom of the arrow will be close to level or just slightly high in reference to the rest. If you shoot a loop then the inside of the top knot would be about 3/16" above square.

Don't forget, though, that this is just a general place to start your tuning process, whichever method you use. You still might have to move the nockset up or down a little bit as you tune.
