Nock Right Tear

A tail-right tear is usually indicative of an overspined arrow, too much tension on your cushion plunger, or a bow that is too light for the current arrows. You can increase bow weight, use weaker spined, or longer, arrows, or try moving your rest horizontally.

Arrow Spine: use weaker
Arrow Length: use longer
Spring Tension: decrease

Nock High Tear

A tail-low tear is usually indicative of an incorrect nock height setting. You can try moving your nock point up, or adjusting your launcher arm, making it stronger.

Arrow Spine: OK
Arrow Length: OK
Spring Tension: OK
Nock Point: Move Up

Nock Left Tear

A tail-left tear is usually indicative of an underspined arrow, too little tension on your cushion plunger, or a bow that is too heavy for the current arrows. You can decrease bow weight, use heavier spined, or shorter, arrows, or try moving your rest horizontally.
