If your Bow is tillered for 3 under what is a good starting point on your string for your nock?

Well, if your shooting 3 under, I notice 1/2" over center (top of the nock 1/2" notcenter of arrow)is a good starting place, and then when tuning, I usually have to move down 1/16" of an inch. I like to start off bare shaft or paper tuninga little high. When I say 1/2" over center, I am referencing the bottom of the shelf. thats on two martin bows I have that have even tiller at the fades. I heard that bows tillered 3 under will be tillered even if the pivot point is between the throat of your handle and shelf.

Thanks. I'm thinking my nock point is to high. Thinking about going to the Gold tip trad arrows. I never did bare shaft or paper tune my bow. I been shooting decent out to 15 yards. The arrows seem to be flying good . I want to try and tune the bow better in the next few months. I know I should be able to get more out of this bow. Thanks for your help!!

What is Broadhead plane test? Thanks

About the same as bareshaft, just more real life because the feathers are on. If you hit to the left with BH compared to your field tips, stiff spine, increase point wieght, lower BH, etc, and if BH hits low, lower nocking point, etc.Check out OL Adcock's page on it.
