Mary Rose replica (updated with full draw)
Randy:
That bow is beautiful! Can you post a link of you shooting it? The first war bow I saw and touched was made by Gary Davi, formerly with PA mag. I said it looked like a walking stick that couldn't decide which end was up. Then he let me pull, er, try to pull it. It had wonderful tiller and I still covet it as well as yours.
Kviljo:

I don't have a video-camera any longer, and my video-editing skills are no good, so I guess the pictures will have to do. It is fairly smooth do draw as it has so little string follow. Although I must admit that this bow is about as much as I can shoot at the moment. Haven't been shooting regularly for over a year. Too buisy making bows... 8)

The problem I had was that just looking at the nock it is very difficult to understand how the string will stay in the nock, so despite people telling me they are doing it and my belief this is how they would be used I just couldn't understand how it would work
once I finally met someone who was doing it and I could see it in real life then it was instantly clear how it works and there was no longer any problem
I have updated my sidenock page with pics of my 130lb bow using sidenocks and loop on string - I hope that from these pics people can see how it works
www.alanesq.com/sidenock.htm
The string pulls down the side of the bow but stays in place
BTW - I use a bowyers knot on the bottom nock, but there is no reason you couldn't use a loop on both ends
As bow-toxo says, if you look at the picture of the bow at full draw, there is no way the string can come off

Hi,
Great addition to your site, I hadn't seen that page before and I wasn't aware of that surviving nock thanks for bringing it to our attention and sharing the pics.

BTW This longbow is a worthy winner of BOM, some how I'd missed it, else I'd have voted for it too.
WOODSLORE:

Phil Rees:
Beautifull bow ... congratulations Kviljo I'm not surprised it's won awards.
