two problems

[nflbowhunter]

Working on a cedar bow  and I found a  nick in the back of the bow and while I was roughing out the tips a knot pop out in the center of the tips any ideas on what I should do for nocks

Pics are always helpful, sometimes necessary to really help

it says the file was to large

Make a free account on imgur, use it for everything, never have said problem again

Make the file smaller. Either use Microsoft Office Picture Manager, Picassa, Gimp, Adobe Photoshop or an online free photo editor. Photo needs to be 250K or smaller.

 not the best pics

We need more info. How long is it, what weight are you shooting for, also please post a pic of the nick on the back and a shot of the whole bow please

[aaron]

What kind of cedar?

[nflbowhunter]

the bow is erc 65 inches tip to tip im shooting for about 50 to 55 pounds

[aaron]

Ok, thanks. I think the back nick will be no problem, just smooth it out. The tip is hard to tell. How wide is it at the knot? You'LL PRobably have to leave it wide with the knot as-is.

[nflbowhunter]

It's about 1.25

[aaron]

Oh drat. You could shorten one or both limbs. Or you could eliminate the knot by narrowing one side only. Your nocks only need to be one half inch wide in the end(OR LESS). How thick is the tip at the knot?

[nflbowhunter]

There about 3/4 thick

[aaron]

Well, that is plenty thick, but not sure if you have enough width to eliminate the knot. If you shorten it, you will only have a 62 inch bow, and at that length, it would be better as a bendy handle, especially if you are a beginner...however, you have roughed out a rigid handle, no?
