I dont know if horn nocks were to protect the bow tips from the string or just wear and tear from general abuse?
I know I am always sticking my bow tips in the ground and leaning on my bow etc. so they are very handy for this?
I would guess that getting the bow tips wet for prolonged time would soon damage them ?
I dont think there is any need for reenforcement on bows under 100lb as far as the string goes as there is not that much stress on the bow tips
I know when I was tillering my 140lb laminate the string started to damage the hickory backing and so I fitted the "horn" nocks before carrying on
I would be interested to hear from anyone who makes heavy self yew bows as to if they find they like to fit nocks before tillering?
