My board bow (build along?)

Nocking the arrow higher will stop it from hitting your hand too. An 1/8" height change will make the difference between hurting and not even noticing it go by.

This was useful to me when first tying on own nock points.

For nock points, I just do a surgical knot of sorts, then serve away from where the arrow would be.

Could also tie a double or even quadruple constrictor knot, but those are very hard to remove. I've ruined a few strings trying to cut off nock points..

[Marin]

Well, I made my nock point. I did it about half an inch above the center (Just like in the  video knoll shared). I haven't glued it down yet but before I do, does it look about right.
Sorry if the second photo is too blurry.

Shoot it and see it it still hits your hand

[Knoll]

It's hard to see in your picture, but if you are nocking arrow onto the nock point, ya probably don't want to do that.
Use nock point to "bump" your arrow's nock against. So arrow is either immediately above or below nock point.
Experimenting will tell ya if arrow prefers to be above/below nock point. Since ya tied it on 1/2" above center, arrow will likely want to be below nock point.
Carry on.

What Knoll said. You don't put arrow ON nock point, but below it if you have one nock point, or if you have two, between them.

What Bubby and Knoll said, also I always shape my handle so I put my hand in the same place to.

Silly me
Should I make the nock point right at the center and not above it? And should I glue it down?

[Mo_coon-catcher]

Id wait to glue it in place until you've shot it a bit in different places and found where shoots best. Then glue er down.

What Kyle says. It probably is pretty close now. Remember arrow rest probably doesn't pass through center either, usually a inch or so higher than center. I'd shoot it and see where it feels best.

Well I was able to get out today and shoot my bow. I pulled it to 21 inches of draw but I realized last week that as my tiller stick was measuring from he top of the stick (rather than from the back of he bow) that I have already pulled to is point on the tiller stick (20" on the tiller stick)
Anyways, I can't seem to find anything wrong with the tiller so far. I don't know if it's just me but does the top limb look stiffer than the bottom?
And yes, my arrow is now rather high. I might adjust my nock point to make it lower but so far it's great. I could not even feel the arrow go over my hand. Who knew how much of a difference a couple of inches makes.

[DC]

Just keep nocking it lower and lower, maybe 1/4" at a time. When it scrapes your finger back up a hair. Don't put too much stock in pictures as far as tiller is concerned. Use it but check against something else like a mirror. If you look back at all the full draw photo here you will find a good percentage look like the bottom limb is bending too much. Something about some cameras and such truck. Nocking it lower may change the bend too.

But you got her done, good job

[bjrogg]

Great to see you shooting her Marin, better get started on another one soon so it's done before you wear this one out. Like D.C. said.

 Congrats Marin good job I agree with DC dont relie on the pics there is always lens distortion paticularly on phone cameras pulled my hair out many times tell I figured it out , light angle can really throw it off , whats next ?
