its possible that you could pop those rings off.
The thing is that the string is pulling those rings against the back of the bow, and the edge of the rings is in a static area. There's nothing moving to lift them, so I thought maybe there was something I didn't know would pop them off. What would that something be, though?
PD and Tim, that's what I thought, though I've only had a TTBB in my hands once and don't remember seeing this in there and so thought I was doing something pretty weird at first.
Bob, that is one of the things I worried about in the beginning, and I still try to make sure I don't give the string a good reason to go between any thin growth rings. I think my success has been in part due to leaving a good chunk of the last extra ring on the bow and having the closest exposed layer of early wood above where the string rests.
Joe, I appreciate it but coming here and asking for everybody's harshest has never steered me wrong
Del, that's one of things that made me nervous before trying these nocks was I couldn't find anyone with experience. I winged it and got lucky
Marc, so you would you suggest I just stick with overlays for bows with bendy tips? I like to make every last inch of my shotbows bend, so would I really want to stick with side or overlay nocks?
NM, I just might need volunteers some day
Lostarrow, I started that thinking of stringers, but realized what you're bringing up, it's a fragile but not dangerous part of the bow I just left because I think it looks nice now. And thank you, I put a lot of paranoia into not breaking them
