Awesome slideshow!  I like the wedge in the nock idea....what do you wrap the nock with?  Doesn't look like sinew.

michbowguy:
its sinew...last years "freezer burnt sinew".
i was worried if it was going to work at all.
put some in the freezer that i shot late in the season and forgot about it,i did not scrape it and dry it or anything.was worried if it would loose elastic /glue properties.
so i unthawed it and dried it indoors by the fan to keep flys off and speed up the dry time.when it got semi hard i threw it up on the roof on the black shingles to dry out.
then i pulled of some long slivers and all was good, just VERY white-ish.

D. Tiller:
Do you leave the wedge in?

michbowguy:
yup.have too.
they work realy ell for both the nock end and POINT END od shafts, keeps you from messin' up the grooves.
ya have to bind them for rienforcing anyway right!
think about it, on any shafts and thin diam shafts ...if you were to carve in a nock/notch you get thinner and thinner walls....with the wedge you get the most you cant get from the arrow shaft.
