Default RE: More bow tuning - level nock travel

Len,

Thank you for the response. Thank you c903 for the link.

The loose mechanical 'grip' will have a minimal affect and allow the rest of the bow to 'float' to compensate for nock travel problems.
I do have a question about this quote though. Wouldn't the loose mechanical grip more closely emulate what actually occurs when a person is shooting a bow as compared to a more fixed riser position device? I would think this would demonstrate a more realistic representation of what a typical shooter can expect in terms of how nock travel may affect accuracy.

I understand where a fixed position device like an Apple Tuning machine would be more useful when comparing two bows strictly from a mechanical/engineering standpoint but would it not loose some value when attempting to predict how any given bow would perform in the hands of a human shooter?

I apologize for the myriad of questions but this subject has me very interested lately.
