I made an elm bow recently and it's all tillered out n stuff. I just made a dacron string for it, 16 strand flemish, and since the tips are pretty narrow the nocks are cut in pretty deep. I strung it up a few times, no problems, but i'm kinda nervous that the dacron will split the soft elm. The bow is also 80#. If the bow was longer i would just cut the self nocks off, but it's only 60." Could i flatten the top of the self nock and glue an overlay on? The groove of the original nock would still be there, would that cause any problems? Any help is really appreciated, i don't want to ruin this bow over something stupid.
