Beautiful bow Pat!
I see the side nocks are offset one on each side?
Do you consider which side to place the top nock relative to the handedness of the shooter? ie: right-handed shooter = top nock on right side of the bow?
And can they be done with a narrower tip?

Thanks and great job again!

CaptainJ, I do consider limb twist or offset before I cut single side nocks. I don't know if it matters but it makes me feel good! d;^)  You can do single side nocks on any bow. Having them on opposite sides generally allows he string to track across the handle on a snakey bow. The war bows that were found on the Mary Rose bow had single side nocks(tillering nocks in most cases)under the horn nocks(horn had already deteriorated). I've seen ELBs with single side nocks too and they are 1/2" or less in width.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!
