Nock Low Tuning Issue
Okay, this one has me stumped:
'06 BowTech Old Glory, 71 lbs., 30", QAD HD drop away w/ 29" A/C Superslim 340, 125 gr. points and Blazer fletchings, Carter release and loop.
I set the arrow up just barely nock high at rest and notice that there is a bit of porpoise to the flight at 50 yards and that everything is shooting way high so I go to the paper. There is a nock low tear that takes me about 1/2" of raising the nock point to get rid of. This is the first bow I have ever had to set a nock point this high on to get rid of a nock low tear. Anyone have ideas what's causing this? Give me the list and hopefully you guys come up with something I haven't tried. My next resort is going to be flipping the limbs around (top to bottom).

Hey Kodiak, have you tried switching the Launcher arms on the QAD? The higher one is supposed to work better with blazers or so I was told from a tech at QAD. Would have to raise your nock point by adding this also, just a suggestion[&:]

I would want to eliminate the rest as a potential problem before moving to other possiblities.

First, check your tiller. Maybe you're getting too much palm heel into your grip, so be aware of that. Make sure the cam timing is right.

Just a wild, probably futile guess, but how much clearance does your arrow have under the pin guard on your sight?
