favorite nock styles
« on: July 06, 2011, 11:40:17 am »
well, musta been dreaming a few weeks ago. thought for sure i saw a similar post with lots of pix submitted. but having done numerous searches with different wording, nothing...(well, a few different nock styles but no particular post containing numerous)
so i will go ahead and post. would like to see some of ya'lls favorite nock style for self bows.
not particularly interested in horn or other materials added to nock, more in simple styles.
if you would like to share, i'd be much appreciative if you'd take pix of belly and back...
thanks guys!!

This should be an interesting thread, what with all the many styles possible. 
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

I can't seem to make anything other than this style.  I just really like them.

osage outlaw-those are lovely nocks. left about 1 1/2" +past string grooves on the current bow. hoping to have plenty of room to do whatever came to mind, or that i saw and liked. these would work quite nicely.  thanks!

They are easy to make.  After I file in the string grooves, I use a flat file and take the sides of the tip to the same width as between the string grooves, then round the end.
