Has anyone built?

I'd love to see some Grumley style recurves with those gorgeous brush nocks.

Thanks in advance!

God bless,Mudd

This isn't nearly as extreme as the Grumley static recurves, but here's one I did for my wife with gently recurved tips (reflexed, really).

Does that type of knock (the added weight) add to the hand shock? Just curious.......James

I am wondering the same thing.  However, they are some GREAT looking knocks!!!

Copy of Grumley "Brush Bow" osage self bow with yew brush nocks. I believe he used yew to keep tip weight down.

Here is a recurve type tip from the same era (mid 1940's) from a copy of the "Deerslayer" style that Grumley made - alternating layers of osage and walnut.

I've done four bows with brush nocks and haven't noticed any extra hand shock.  In truth, that area is stiff and acts as a short lever, much like a horsebow with its siyahs.  And a horsebow is one of the smoothest, dead-in-th-hand shooting bows I've ever shot.
