When swapping between different sets of arrows on a well tuned bow, like from thin target arrows to fat indoor ones, what adjustments might you need to make? Maybe the nocking point up/down for different thicknesses?

Nocking point shouldn't change a lot, so long as it is still in the centre of the point.
Plunger needs to go in or out to accommodate the change in diameter. Your arrow rest should be adjusted to make sure the arrow touches in the middle of the plunger and if the arrow is a different spine, you might need to adjust spring tension in the plunger.

So not much for a Compound ;)

Yeah, maybe the rest could go down a very marginal amount (when going to thicker arrows) for a compound. That's all I can think of though.

Unless you use a drop away, and then it's probably not enough to be bothered by.

Rodger, I use three sets of arrows - Navigators for target, X7 2312's for indoor, and Lightspeeds for 3D and field.

I don't make any adjustents between the three sets of arrows whatsoever.

Just put 'em in and shoot 'em for groups - se how they go :wink:

Just like Luke I use the same setup for 3 different arrows types. Using the Spring Steel blade rests allows this to work really easily and in the last 2 months have shot PB's at indoor, target and FITA Field while using different arrows for each.

Do you have your nocking point a bit higher to deal with clearance problems with this type of rest?

It is higher, but not more than any other rest I have shot. Contact doesn't seem to cause the problems on the rest like it does on other rests.

:P

You should've said 'hippers' not 'hippos' ;) I've got some of Anthony's rhinos for the indoors anyway...

BTW The Easton chart didn't suggest a 23** arrow for my bow. Would 2312s be good for C1/2 27" 45-50lbs? :-?
