if i cant get the nodes reasonably flat, then i try to orient them away from the bow, and hopefully its the right side too! i cant wait to get that stuff riarcher. i put these together in just a few hours. got straightening down now so it doesnt take much anymore.

I meant spaced from the pointy end of the arrow. ;)

oh, i got ya now. nah. ideally you want one at the front and back to reinforce the nock and point end. but ive had great luck with my wrapped nocks and my unwrapped hot glued in field points. off my 40lb bow that is..

aero86. I learned what I know from a very very experienced arrow maker. You will find, if you use a spine tester, that the nodes should be up and down on the bow, not facing into or away from it. All my nocks are cut with the node up and down with the solid side of the cane, perferrable the stiffer side to the side plate of the bow. You will se a huge differnece in the grouping and shooting. IMO
aero86:
thanks for the suggestion stringstretcher. i have been placing the stiff side to the bow though. i dont have a spine tester either.
