Re: use of " no nocks" on longbow strings in trad comps.

Further to the above is it OK to have one nocking position for the arrow but that position be between 2 clamp on nock sets so the arrow does not move on the string because of finger / string pinch?

Re: Bow Strings

Hi Little John,
I know I sound picky its just that I was advised that the 2 bows I want the strings for are not suited to materials; I was told to use dacron which is fair enough as they are older bows that don't have the reinforced tips that you need for FF and Dyneema I think its called.

Bow Strings

Hi,
Does anyone out there in Ozbow land make strings as I am after a couple of strings; flemish would be nice but 2 colour ordinary would do but they would have to be dacron or a material along those lines not dyneema or fast flite,
Cheers

Re: 2 sets 60# The Fletchers arrows - ALL SOLD -

Hi Sue,
There is a guy on the australian bowhunting forum looking to buy wood and feather arrows in the wanted to buy section. I think he should get some made up as he wont get ones to suit a 35# recurve that are any good to readily.
