If you mean side knock, the Ferret (Mickey Lotz)was the only one I know of that built a bow with em. Maybe you can contact him.

I've made a few but don't have pics available. I gave the son of a friend an osage Cherokee style bow with side nocks a few years ago for his B-day. They work very well. Some of the old English "Mary Rose" war bows had side nocks.

on the mary rose bows i think the side nocks were only tillering nocks. on a finished bow they attached horn nocks. i´ve never seen a finished english war bow with side nocks. please correct me if i´m false...

This is what I've been calling side nocks, but could be wrong. Hope this helps. Greg

There were a couple guys on the primitive sites that used side nocks.

When I used side nocks I would consider any twist that might be in the stave and try to position the side nock to bring the tips around as the bow was drawn. Whether this actually does anything is only my guess.
  I don't go half way across the limb. It isn't necessary to do so.

Pat is right, cause it does help prop twist some what. I have only used side nocks for that reason but I do not have pics sorry. If there is no twist and you're not careful you may have some twist using this style of nock.
