Phew doing a trystick is easy. Doing the videos and text is killing!
Well here is Morss nock for the trystick. Useful for reels, pegs etc.
Got my camera girl to video this. She got kind of stressed part way when her mum started asking why the cat was in the garbage and her attention wandered.
The video isnt all that clear so I added some pics after she left. Make a vertical stop cut on each side of the stick. Use a baton or hand
Cut an oblique cut down to the stop cut .
Widen and deepen as needed on both sides
Make another two stop cuts at 90 degrees to each other further up the stick. Widen and deepen as needed.
Push tip of blade into V as deep as needed (at least half way) on both sides
Go back to first pair of cuts. Push blade carefully down to end of the stop cut and lever up carefully so split runs to the second pair of stop cuts. Do for both sides.
Press down on tip of stick and push blade into the V notch in either of the second pair of stop cuts. End of stick should break off cleanly.
Cut peg (in this case to desired length) and tidy up if that way inclined
Use peg
