Good question....and would moving the rest up or down instead be a better technique?
It would seem to me that one would want to keep their upper and lower limbs torqued as close to equal as possible to reduce stresses on the riser and limbs themselves.
Though I am no expert and am only basing this on my real-world physics experience, I think that the ideal solution would be to adjust the nock so your pull is as described by Arthur P. From there, check to see how high/low the nock is compared to where you think it should be. If it is outrageous, only then would I adjust the tiller and then, not more than maybe 1/2 a turn out of even. This will require a raise/lower of the rest to compensate the raising / lowering of the nock point.
I guess I just can't see the uneven torquing of the limbs to be good for the bow and would avoid it at all costs. However, there are some tuning issues associated with this as well, so I guess it's sort of one big compromise no matter which way you look at it. For me, I have a happy medium in my eyes -- no tiller adjustments with the nock about 1/2" high and the rest a little higher than centershot as well. Looks good thus far. But I'm changing my rest out this week so we'll probably have to play this game all over again!
Good luck!
