This video definitely helped me able to really feel confident with my shots and I just started a few days ago lol great video for a beginner like myself 10/10 great teaching
I am fighting this issue right now. I just picked up a new recurve after a 40-year hiatus. I have never shot three under and wanted to give it a try. Shooting three-under always rotates the arrow off of the shelf...big time. The nocks appear to be about 1/8 inch high. I will try moving them up as well as watching my grip and draw. Thanks for the info...hopefully it helps.
Great question! This is mainly personal preference but also may be dictated by your style of shooting. . Archers who shoot Olympic style recurve will generally shoot "split" (one over, two under). Archers who shoot traditional bows instinctively (focus solely on the target) will also usually shoot split. Archers who use the arrow as an aiming reference will most likely shoot three fingers under the nock to get the arrow closer to the eye and make aiming easier. We hope this helps answer your question!
Good in so far as it goes. However, it is worth noting that not all Trad bow arrow rests are the same. Some have a flat or even a very narrow shelf or radiused internal angle mandating a canted grip attitude. Not all have an included angle between shelf and strike plate of 90 degrees or less. Further, the fittings/pads applied to these features are not all two pieces with a fletching separation, some are a one piece wrap around. Narrow rest, gentle radius or included angle of greater than 90 degrees and one piece padding can all contribute to locating and keeping the arrow on the rest more difficult without canting the bow. IMHO there is a reason why modern bows designed for use without canting have either cupped rest or included rest angles of less than 90 degrees. For what it's worth, ensure your shelf and striker plate configuration are conducive to your bow and style of shooting for the most forgiveness of imperfect form and don't be afraid to modify them accordingly. Remembering that any shelf and striker plate may affect nocking point and arrow dynamic spine requirement respectively.

Good info for all archers . Thanks
What Bow are you using ? Looks great !
Is one finger over and two under a preference thing?

What brand/model is your bow?
Thanks for helping us 🔥🎉🙏🏻👍🙏🏻🎉
If a right-hander picks up a left-handed bow, then the arrow is not on the bow-arm side and tends to turn away from the bow.
Just bought my daughter a Bear Recurve Bow and she's broken 2 arrow rests in 10 minutes
