Badger:
Kip, I went and read the post you were talking about. ADB was being blunt but I don't think mean at all. I believe his appraisel was accurate. I would almost bet his post helped you improve on the next bow. Thats what we do here is give honest appraisels and help each other grow. If a design is way off better to be honest with someone I think. You seem to have a good attitude anyway. Steve
KShip85:
Thanks Steve. Looking back I'm sure he meant no harm by his comment, it can just be hard to tell how someone is coming across when it's just words on a page, one of the downfalls of written communication. The most innocent remark can come across completely different than the author intended. It's why I usually try to step back and think before posting sometimes. All of your alls comments help me from bow to bow. Haven't had a go at another ELB yet but I'm looking forward to it. That first bromstick really flings an arra' as you all say ;)

I don't understand why a frequent reaction to critical comments is to demand that the one making the comment can do it way better himself. How does Rod's proficiency with horn nocks change anything about e.g. the notch at the base of the horn near the upper groove in the picture? Or do I need to fetch my camera and provide a couple of horn nock pictures before I am allowed to ask?

Probably because that is not a notch

Hi all,
In my ideal world the following conversation would have taken place:
MSL: Hi, here is my new bow! Any comments?
ROD: Nice tiller, but have you ever considered making the top nock more flush with the bow limb? I know that many archers, including myself, have had trouble stringing heavier bows if the top nock isn't flush with the limb.
MSL: Hi Rod, thank you for your comment, but nope. I havn't thought of this before, but I see your point! Good idea! Do you have any examples to show me?
ROD: Yes several, but unfortunately none that I may take any credit for. Here are some pics...
But I do admit that I find the current thread more exciting...
Cheers,
Ola
