I’m quite new to archery so please bear with me if this seems a stupid question.
I’m looking to attach some brass nocking points to a new string. I‘ve googled how to fit a nocking point on a string and most articles and videos are saying to align your bow square on the arrow rest and then fit the TOP nocking point a certain distance above this. The distances given seem to vary wildly from 1/8“ to 5/8” (3 to 16mm), with an average of around 3/8” (9mm). Once the top nocking point is attached, they recommend placing the arrow nock on the string then fitting the bottom nocking point.
Chatting to some of the more experienced archers at my local club, they said this is the distance to place the BOTTOM nocking point then you attach the arrow and fit the top nocking point.
So my question is which is correct - or are they both correct but require different distances above perpendicular? What distance above perpendicular would you recommend I place my nocking point and should it be the top or bottom nocking point? I am just looking for a reasonable starting point.
For info, I’m shooting a WNS Motive FX riser with WNS Delta F3 limbs 68-22lbs.
Appreciate any guidance you can offer.
