I've already posted a link to a blog entry showing exactly what I do as a 2 part 'how to do horn nocks'.
It took a good deal of time and effort to video and post it.
Here's the link again...

Sorry, Del... didn't see your link, but I'll definitely check it out! Thanks.

OK... checked your link... awesome. That's how I do it myself. But, as far as I can see, you're still 'using' at least an inch of each limb tip to fit your nock, thereby ending up with a bow about 2" shorter than the stave you started with. Yes?
Del the cat:
No,No For pities sake NO! :'(
Look at the picture of the temporary nock and the groove filed into the back of the bow!!!!!!, it's about 1/4" away from the tip!!!!!!
I stick some tape on the back of the bow and measure 6" from the temporary nock and draw a big pencil line .
When the horn is stuck on I measure the 6" back from the pencil line and file the groove into the horn... so it's still 1/4" from the end of the wood.
Ok there is an extra 1" of horn sticking out the tip, and maybe 1" on the grip side of the groove, but nock groove to nock groove is exactly the same as it was before I stuck on the horn.
I'm not sure if you are teasing me now ::), or if you need to go sit on the naughty step ;)
