Top Nocks
« on: Today at 12:02:55 am »
Any of you guys like just cutting in top nocks on your tips and skip the side grooves? I've noticed some that have been done this way and gave it try.
I like it, it definitely simplifies the process and I think it looks nice. Only negative is the side if your bow tip can get gunked up with string wax that rubs off.

The only thing I could think of is side grooves or at least on one side could be deepened  to adjust the position of the braced string. Not necessary if you already have good string alignment over the handle though. I rarely use overlays, but I can't see your method having any downsides in function or appearance.

I do it sometimes if I want really skinny tips, works fine, I usually cut side nocks but just depends on the build. Those look very nice.  :)
