Moving from micro to small/regular diameter arrows and tuning

[JeffRaines]

I think I posted on switching before, but I have a tuning related question... if I switch from micro(what I'm currently using) and size up to small or regular(.302?) diameter arrows will I need to move my nocking point?

I'm just trying to figure out what kind of work I have in front of me.

I don't move the nocking point, I adjust the rest.

On one of my open setups I use the SH swap rest. Same nocks, but have a thicker blade on one rest, it's adjusted and tuned for the bigger shafts. Then a thinner blade on a different body for skinnier shafts.

What Mr Billy said. Nocking point should stay the same. Just move the rest.

OD differences from micro (.165-.166" ID) to small (.204" ID) to standard (.244-.246" ID) shafts are pretty minor, around 1/32" to 1/16" OD change between each size class for a given spine. So if you went from micro to standard, your arrow would likely be 1/16" to 1/8" larger in OD (assuming same spine), which would necessitate lowering your rest 1/32" to 1/16" (half the change in OD) to keep the arrow running at the same angle and maintain vertical tune.

Thank you guys for the response! Now to decide on an arrow.
