Ghost, you can but it can be very tedious. Most of the hickory that grows around my place has thin rings. I've seen it with thicker rings and that wouldn't be so bad.
 With thin ringed hickory I'd do the best I could to get to one ring and back it with rawhide if I was concerned.

I chase a ring on all my hickory bow because I have never been able to peel off the bark. Its not to bard. Spring growth is spring growth no matter the wood most of the time. It just seems safer to me. Like pat said though, if its thin go for rawhide backing.
