loefflerchuck:
Beauty!
BowEd:
Thanks Chuck.I always admire your work.
Here's a picture of a lesson learned.I knew in my gut I was taking chances shooting arrows not built up strong enough but went along shooting them anyway.Well from now on an insert of at least 2" of horn and wrapping of at least an inch below the nock throat of these self nock arrows will be a must with a bow like this.
A partial or almost complete dry fire came when this arrow nock blew out while shooting this bow in some time ago.Relieved the arrow was the only thing broke here.That horn insert there is around an inch long that blew out.No wrapping whatsoever.It had been shot a number of times before it blew.
Bjoern Sofeit:
Wrapping them with a little sinew should prevent this.
BowEd:
Yes.
Marc St Louis:
Very nice Ed.
I like your bracing jig. It's very similar to one I made years ago but looks a bit sturdier than mine.
