I shot three under for a couple of years. Seemed to make a real diff. for that bow. No extra nock necessary.

A second nock isn't necessary but.... Hoyt did some high speed video years back that showed the arrow's nock can slip down the string during the shot and cause inconsistent accuracy. I always tie on a second nock for hunting and just general messing around. Some tournament rules only allow a single nock point though.

Hello

I've shot three fingers under for the last couple of years. It has really improved my accuracy. I built my own bow and I tilleredthis bowfor shooting three fingers under.

Ill go ahead and tie a nock below. If my bare shafts a hitting with my fletched shafts, what can i expect when i put on a muzzy three blade bh. Five inch trueflight feathers.

3 fingers under improved my shot considerably. I use a second nock. I'm not sure I understand your second question.

I shoot three under and really like it better than any other way. Instead of a second nock I use one of the rubber rings the release compound shooters use so they don't pinch the nock with thier release. I put my fingers right under the ring and I never have any problem with finger pinch.

If your bare shafts have the same poi, doesnt that mean that the bow is tunned about as good as it gets. If so then bh flight shouldnt be a problem?

I think my shooting improved when I tied on the second nock point.

I'm not sure about your other question. For tuning I would go to O.L. Adcocks website and download his tuning guide...... Do a google search, you'll find it.

You can expect your Muzzys to shoot where you look, given your bare shaft tune. On the other hand, archery stuff does have a way of doing the UNexpected.
