I don't know...this idea seems a bit over the top. (lol)

bjrogg:
I saw this somewhere before. I think here. Even had some numbers comparing the same bow with it over the top compared to conventional.

I think it’s a really cool idea.

I see mmattockx already shared the link.

PS love the tiller, nice bend

superdav95:
its a cool concept.  yes i remember the topic has been posted before.  My opinion for possibly the why it works to get more speed is this,  the over the top string nock in theory maximizes the length per mass of the limbs compared to using the regular cut nocks.  even if you use the same string you would essentially lower the brace height as you are using the loops around the nocks in the traditional way.  this method would increase your brace height a little and push that energy transfer out a tiny bit on each limb. There is also the elimination of string rub on the sidewalls of the string grooves, every little helps and in this case it seems to translate into little more speed.  This also may in fact add a tiny bit more draw length as well which may contribute to more speed along with the other factors.

Interesting post... no wasted wood beyond the nock  ;D
