Question regarding black string nocks :
Have you cut out the wood and inserted horn ?

I am afraid doing this step ... to not weaken it yoo much.
How wide are your tips around string nocks? Less than 1cm ?

The typical size of nock 'slot' is 1/4 x 1/4 inch. The tip there should be about 10mm wide x 17mm thick.
