Thicker strings are better for thumb release though, so best option would be to get 'thumb string' compatible nocks.
I was wondering about that it looked double thick. Personally I would rather change or modify the nocks thans redo the serving. Creating a good serving is my bane. It's not hard but I just don't like doing it.
I took a picture of one of the nocked arrows but it looked like a nocked arrow, nothing special. I think the nock that broke was tighter than some of the others. I think that they need to be filed out. I didn't think of that but makes sense.
Thanks for the help so far.
I have been having an issue with breaking nocks on release. I have broken 5 or 6 so far and its not good as it has been hard on the bow. 
Anyone else have this issue? I have 5/16 plastic nocks on the shafts right now. Is there a place that sells thinner strings? The one I have seems thick and the nocks don't want to slide all the way on which usally isn't a problem but this time it seems like it is breaking them.
Thanks for the review glad to hear it is shooting well
that was great. Looks like it didn't take too much damage
That was my problem as well. I figured I need to get the regular thumbring "mastered" before moving on to something else.
I looked at those Manchu rings but I was wondering if they would fly off. I think you have to keep your thumb bent on release, or at least that was my theory
That is interesting. The wrap that comes with the SMG is a bit different in style and not sure that would work as well.
Thanks, I have been trying it without any wrap and trying to make subtle adjustments till it fits right. That has been interesting. It is a great little bow with a bit of power behind it.
Thanks,
I hadn't thought of the vet wrap. I might have something similar around the house.
I figured contact cement would be the best bet but wanted to check and see what others have done.
I bought myself a new SMG for Christmas it is great, but the big question is what is the best way to attach the handle wrap that came with it. It doesn't look to be sticky backed so what glue would work best?
