--- Quote from: BowEd on January 15, 2019, 06:03:19 am ---I use FF all the time too on my self bows & sinewed bows too.Even on higher reflexed horn bows too but horn bows are 58 to 60 inches long though.The theory is that FF is a stiffer material[less stretch] to cause more trauma to the tips slamming home on shorter limbed bows with higher dry fire speed.
It does'nt happen right away on the bow I've heard but does after enough shots are taken.

maybe adding some leather in the nock socket will help.

BowEd:
Yes.I've never had it happen myself here.I use overlay horn on tips.I'm quoting what Adam Karpowiz stated and I'm pretty sure he puts leather inserts in tip nocks.
I think it's more concerning on higher poundage bows over 90 pounds.

bassman:
You guys are real bow builders.

StickMark:
great bow.  I am impressed.
