Those of you who shoot Crusaders, what nocking point setting have you found to be the best??
I put a new string on my Crusader and am having trouble getting good arrow flight. I have by brace height set at 7 1/8" (between 7 1/8 and 7 1/4). My Crusader is 52# and I'm shooting 50-55# POC arrows cut to 28 1/4" with 125 gr tips.
My old string had the nocking point set at just under 1/2". The same settings just aren't working on the new string. Or do I just need to let the new string get more broken-in??
I set mine around 1/4" high. If the new string is the same material/number of strands as the old one, the same setting should work, or be very close. It may just need shot in--what is your arrow doing?

since I've changed to shooting with glasses, I've had to make some minor adjustments to anchor point and also played some with nock point.
I am closer to 1/4" like chad but I seem to get a wide range of accpetance out of my old crusader. I dont play with my new one to much but it is also the same way as to nock point.
Make sure you are not getting bad feather clearnace. I've noticed that from time to time. The more I play with rotating my cock feather up (towards upper limb) the more the lower hen feather contacts the riser and I do get a considerable kick that wont go away, its very consistent, 10 of 11 arrows fly like darts and that one kicked till I fixed it.
I'm hoping it's just the nocking point. I've finally got my form down and consistant which has been great for my accuracy. I've been shooting great for the last 2 months, dead on accuracy from 30 yards on in. So like I said, I hope it's just the nocking point.
How high is the arrow? about an eigth? If the underside of the nock point is 1/2" high of square, then your arrow is probably about 3/16" which is a fine place to be, but it's also possible it's still too low. With NPs I always like to start generously high. I just eyeball the arrow square on the string, put one thumbnail bellow the nock, then just shift it with my other hand so it's like 3/8" high. This will create a very high NP. you can do whatever you think is the right thing in your arrow's case, but as you know a half inch high NP is like trying to peg it dead to rights on the first go. I prefer to start high, then there is only one direction to move it, and you won't experience masking symptoms like rest bounce that make it difficult to tell which way to move the nock.
