Veri-Nok Arrow Level
The Veri-Nok Arrow Level from R.S. Archery Products offers an alternative method of locating your string nock in the correct position for optimum performance. It allows you to position your arrow so that it is dead level at 90 degrees to the bowstring or you can use the graduated scale to position the nock from anywhere between 1/8 to 1/2 inch high.
To use the Vari-Nok Level is clipped onto the arrows after the bow is positioned with the string exactly vertical. The string level below does a champion job at this, but any level will do. Now orient the arrow in the desired position and clip on your nock point and have a few test shots to make sure you got it right.

QUICK TIP
Locating The Best Spot For Your Nock Point
Getting the nock point on your bowstring in the correct position is one of the most important steps in tuning any kind of bow, traditional longbow, recurve or high-tech compound. If you don't get this step right, you will never achieve your optimum performance and accuracy.
Before you set your nock point, make sure that the brace height is within the manufacturer's specifications. On compound bows, double check the axle-to-axle length and adjust your arrow rest into the desired position. You can also install any other accessories, sight, peep sight, quiver, etc., at this time although final adjustment of these items comes later. You also need at least one arrow that is the correct spine, weight and length for your bow.
The final position of your string nock depends on many variables such as the type of arrow rest you are using, your release, your shooting form, and the type of arrow you are shooting, just to name a few. This means that your first attempt at locating the nock point requires some guesswork. For most bows, the best place to start is with the nock point slightly high, three or four millimeters is about right. You can determine this by using a bow square or with a set of levels like the ones listed above. Crimp on a brass nock-point of the correct size and have a few shots at close range. If arrow flight looks about right,it is time to do some serious paper- or bare-shaft testing making small adjustments in the nock point as you go. Once you get the nock point right, you can move on to the rest of the tuning process.
