Pin nocks or ERC? Good idea or bad
« on: January 04, 2010, 10:28:48 pm »
The sinew on my ERC flatbow has been drying for about 11 months now.  I  just finished floor tillering and am getting ready to cut the nocks for the long string.  I would like to do pin nocks but not sure if this is a good idea or not for ERC.  It is all an all heartwood sinew backed ERC stave that is 58" tip to tip.  Thanks for any advice.

I think they'd be fne. You could do an overlay pin nock, like this...

I think I would at least overlay them. Give it a little security.

I can't remember what TBB I used the idea from but I successfully used a piece of 'rawhide' attached with wrapped sinew just below the actual tips which allowed me to keep the bow tips narrow and pointed...worked like a charm.  Keep in mind that if the bow's too short, the tip angle could allow the string to slip off so watch for that...cheers, P1.
