Looks great Pat, the side nocks are very slick. Perhaps Joe and Linda could provide a picture of lucky winner?

Dana, I'll see if I can get a pic to post here in a few weeks.  Thanks for the comments. The side nocke are so simple and work very well. On another bow like this I built I placed the side nocks to help correct prop twist through out the bow.     Pat

Nice as usual Pat.

I wondered about limb twist on the side nock thing.  I guess it's a matter of having the depth of one nock center or nearly center the limb.

Yes Ralph. The side nocks are on the opposit sides.  David. You don't get much adjustment with the side nocks but being opposit each other and if the twist is considered before you locate the nocks, some untwisting occurs. Plus by being on opposit sides the string always crosses the handle. Kegan, That's what I find so appealing about these bows, simplicity!
  Thanks Josh but after seeing your last bow and BOM I could learn a few lessons from you.    Pat

Santuu, They shoot surprisingly well for such a simple design. This was a basic style for the Native Americans in the Southeastern US. They even built 68" heavy war bows of the same style. Most were made with hickory, ash, elm and locust and probably other hardwoods.     Pat

Nice bow! 

What exactly is the tiger stripe pattern?? Like a cloth?  Do you glue it to the bow?

Thanks

Justin, The tiger stripe material is animal print tissue paper glued with watered down Elmer's white glue. The tissue paper is very thin and tears easily when wet so getting it to lay flat is difficult. Pat
