I've recently swapped my setup around and I've noticed that my string doesn't sit in the top limb very well, which is making alignment awkward as it causes a slight twist.
The reason for this is a difference in the depth/position of the nocks on either side of the limb (I think they're called nocks anyway??). If I reduce the draw-weight the effect isn't as noticeable (which is why I've only just realised), but I need the extra draw weight to keep my arrows in tune...
So my question is this - should I fill in the deeper nock and with what (I was thinking some kind of epoxy) or should I file out the shallow one to bring them level? I'm only talking about a 2 mm-ish difference, but it's enough so that the string will pop out of the groove. After I've got it sorted one way or another I'll be able to sort the alignment out hopefully.
The limbs are nothing special, just some intermediate level wood/carbon SF's I picked up off eBay so I wont be too bothered if I kill them, but I don't want to get more quite yet as I'm still hoping to get up an extra few pounds before committing to something better. Even with the twist they shoot really well though...
I'll post some pics to show everyone how I get on
