I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the best way to make a recurves nocks able to be strung with a stringer, other than making 2 nocks on the top limb. Would making a long narrow pin nock like on fiberglass bows be best?  So that you could use a traditional pouch stinger with? This is the nock style I am talking about:




"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

- Tao Te Ching, 77, A new translation by Victor H. Mair

I just fit the nocks to the stringer using a file or sander but I just make regular nocks with no overlays. Jawge
