stringing nocks
I have a english warbow and it has a stringing groove above the string nock. I have found this to be the best way yet of string a longbow. My question is how come laminated longbow makers haven't added this groove for stringing there bows? Its easy to add to your bows and it only requires you have a strong string with you. It works well and stops limb twist and allows stringing a big bow easy...Roscoe

Re: stringing nocks
IMO they simply aren't needed with normal length longbows as they are easy enough to string without those extra string grooves; besides they would look ugly as!!!
I also think limb twist is a non issue with longbows and in fact I have never ever seen one with limb twist.

Re: stringing nocks
Jeff, I agree with you on the limb twist, but IMO they are not ugly. Its just one small groove above string nock. They make stringing a heavy or deflex/reflex longbow a breeze....Roscoe

Re: stringing nocks
We all see things differently mate and I for one can't imagine putting an extra groove in the tip overlays of my bows; they aren't really big enough to anyway and I still reckon they would be ugly as.

What Jeff said .
The bow length of most glassed bows makes them a piece of cake to string with out a stringer ..... if I had a 78" Warbow it might be different.

Re: stringing nocks
I make mine with slightly bigger grooves to take a stringer , makes it easy if you have a bad back like mine
