nock set location ???
Where should i set the nock on my string to shoot three under with a recurve? What broadhead and arrow's would you use on a 40# recurve for deer. I was thinking of 125gr magnus stinger or other 2 blade heads and a heavy aluminum arrow. I am new to traditional archery and only plan to use it later, after i have become more efficient with it.

As for setting nock point, you can bare shaft tune to locate correct nock point. Usually for 3 under if the bow is tillered for split, you would set to 1/2" over center. For a bow tillered for 3 under about 1/4" or more over center.

All non custom bows are tillered for split finger draws.To find the best spot for the nock start with a bare shaft and set the nock a tad to high.Gradually bring it down until you see the nock high flight go away.In some cases you can't quite get rid of it all together but that's ok.Just be sure what high you're seeing is not being caused by the arrow bumping the shelf which also shows as nock high.That said I would suggest getting the brace height dialed in first.Good luck!

So should i go back to shooting split? When i started shooting as a kid that was how i shot, but after reading about 3 under i thought i would try it when i found a recurve. I've only had the bow a week so switching should not be an issue. Just want the bow to be as efficent and accurate as it was designed and built at the factory so i can't blame my poor shooting on the equipment.

If I had it to do over, I would not shoot 3under. Most of the reasons for shooting 3 under is people try to shoot a 60" bow 29" draw and get finger pinch. I have seen time and time again, split finger being more quiet, more available, and it just makes sense with even pressure behind an arrow.
Saying all that, I do shoot 3under.

Problem is unless you have a clean release, no amount of tuning really helps.
I know my release sucked so bad, it took me a good year to where I could trust tuning procedures.

Those arrow's that were suggested sure seem small are they right? I was thinking more like a 2213 or 2117.
