I've been reading the bow set up PDF from the other thread. I was looking at the knocking set up page and it says That the arrow should hang from the string but fall when the stein is tapped. My arrows just hang there and will not release even with a strong taps on the string. I noticed that nocks were being pulled from the back of the arrow when released

How does that affect accuracy?

For a cheap fix, try boiling some water, sitting the nocks in it to soften them up, then putting the on the string and allow them to cool.

First of all you need to check if the nocking point is to tight or not. If it is pinching on the nock, you need to loosen it a bit.

If it is because the "mouth" of the nock is to tight, I would get other nocks as I prefer to be totally sure that all nocks have the same tension and release the same for all shots.
You can try Biebs's method, but I would only trust that for practice arrows, not hunting arrows.

The problem you have now Fallow Buck can influence your accuracy rather much in a negative way. You really don't want the issue you have now.
