Yes its great to see something we all love and enjoy, printed in a timeless magazine as Popular Mechanics!

Nice also to see the inset of a great arrow smith as Paul Jalon, too!

Thanks gentlemen, for the link!

I wonder if they copied my double nock idea, I haven't seen it posted by anyone else besides myself.

Eric, i know since i have seen you use it, i use it on a lot of my bows- esp. the tough to string ones- flipped tips, or recurves etc- sure makes the stringer simple and easy- just a piece of paracord. its a great, although sadly, an underated  idea.

I've been doing double nocks for quite a few years now too. Well a double wide lower nock and a true double nock on the upper limb. Perfect for those heavily reflexed bows.

Pretty cool, I love seeing this stuff out in the mainstream.

Decent article.  I bought a copy today.  Good to see trad archery in a mainstream magazine.   Josh

The canoe article looks pretty cool, too!

If I only had the talent, and time!

They make it sound like it a piece of cake to make a bow, 3 or 4 weeks to dry a stave........
