What is the average nock height for folks that shoot 3 under.

You're going to get answers all over the map.  You might be able to narrow it further if you specified whether they're shooting 3U on a bow tillered for it or or split.  But IMHO, after reading a bunch of these inquiries, the consensus is going to average about 5/8ths inch above square w/ arrow nocked under (and double nock sets).

Thank you sir, it is tillered for split.

5/8" is about average for me, although there are a few bows I have that were tillered for 3 under that could go 1/2" or even 3/8".  Frankly, I'm inclined to set them all on 5/8", since that seems to give me a more consistent POI among different bows.

I have found that as my form and release improves, my nock point has gone down.  A few years ago I would have said my average was 3/4."

I have found good luck with 1/2" from center to bottom of nock, be it tie on or brass.  Each of my Widows seem to like this, as does my Yellowstone Half-Breed.  Due to the adjustabillity of my Hoyt Excellafo I could use a figure other than 1/2", but I set it there and am happy.

5/8 on most of my bows.>>>-----> Ken

I tiller my bows for 3 under and set the nock at 3/8th.

Just moved mine up from9/16 to almost 3/4.  I shoot 3 under.  This move solved my tuning issues as shaft had been boucing off the shelf.
Now im measuring to the bottom of the top nocking point.  How are you guys measuring?

Got mine sorted today. Border black Douglas hex 6 BB2 tillered for split finger, shooting 3 under. Nocking point is 1/2" shooting BE Rampage shafts.
