Thanks Northshore......I hope too anyways.

If you have TBB #2, it shows a couple of pics showing different styles of the nocks.

Like any static tip recurve, you just have to get things lined up real well.  The little grooves carved in the belly side should help the string track properly.  I'd keep the length to a minimum.

I haven't tried them nor have I seen anyone else try them.They would seem to impart a lot of hand schock a the bow?I am interested in them myself.

I'm with MattE on that one.  I love the way they look but I'm sure they would seriously cost you something in performance.  Brush bow range is short so that may not matter.

     I was only wondering about Grumley type brush nocks earlier this week on a first foray and probably last into a 3 piece takedown fibre glass static recurve [ forgive me I'm weak on occasion ] and decided that the weight penalty and probable hand shock should not be that great a concern with minimal length and scalloping of the side of the brush nock . What about the massive siyah's on some of those horse bows as well and who cares Grumley nocks look wild . regards Perry

Here's a pic, and one of an attempt that I made, but the bow died so it never got finished.

THAT'S what I'm talkin' about right there! ;D Thanks V'Burger for the pic...BTW...how DO you string one of those puppies?? ??? The string loops must be massive ;) I suppose the string is free to slip over the tip  instead of the limb?
