You need to get it down to one ring, if it is that kind of bow design, which ring is up to you, so unless it is now too thin, you should be fine as long as you get it down to one ring.
Of course there are board bows that have runout, so you can do that also, even if you started with a stick, wood is wood, but the design that will work with runout is going to be different. Basically wider thinner.
And then if you have blown in too far for what you want, you could always back it.

Ring violation and runout (grain violation) are two completely different/opposite things. If you just nicked the growth ring that you intended to be the pristine back of your bow... you can either let 'time tell' and risk failure... or chase another ring without nicking it for more insurance. My call would depend on how severe the nick was relative to growth ring thickness at that spot. Bein- zit it's ash, I'd look to improve my odds as much as possible.

The ring is a solid 1/8 thick and the scrape mark is probably 1/32 or less deep and about a dime in size

Fill with super glue and let it be.

Also depends on whether the nick is on the center of the crown or off to one side. The center carries most of the tension stress.
