Default Nock problem, please help.

Bear with my noobie bow terminology elliderut arse while I try to splain this..... Right now I have 3 brass nocks on my string as part of my nock point. 2 nocks are together, then there is an open spot for my arrow, followed by another nock on the bottom. The dilemma I think I'm having is that the arrow is pinched too hard when I come to full draw.The reason why I think this is because there's actually downward pressure on the arrow caused by the squeezeofthe nocks. Perhaps the space for nocking the arrow is tootight causing the excessive pinch?If at full draw, you push the arrow up away from the launcher, there's a definate pressure holding the arrow down onto the launcher. Do you see a problem here worth getting all concerned over?

Anyway, my proposal to resolve this is to get rid of the bottom most nock thus getting rid of the pinch at full draw. I can then replace that nock with a rubber stop or guide that installs right onto the string and can slide up and down. I will then nock the arrow between the 2 top nocks and the bottom rubber stop then clip my release below the rubber stop.My thinking is that this rubber guide will have give to it and will reduce the pinching of the arrow's nock at full draw.

Whadaya think?
