Nock & string serving problem.

[longbow fanatic 1]

Recently, I ordered new Easton Legacy arrows from The Footed Shaft. The arrows came with Bohning Classic nocks. My string serving was too small to accommodate the Bohning Classic nocks, so I ordered a new string (SBD, 8 strand). Pierre was great to deal with and I love my string, but the nocks are still too loose for my SBD string serving.

The other arrows that I use are the Cabelas Easton Legacy shafts. These nocks work fine on my SBD string.

Can anyone tell me what nocks come on the Cabelas Legacy arrows? I guess I will need to re nock my new Footed Shaft arrows to get proper nock fit.

Rather than change out the nocks it would probably be easier to wrap a bit of dental floss at your nocking point to build up the string to the right diameter.
If you use mint floss you can tell you're at full draw by the fresh minty smell.

Boil water in a cup and place the nock in the water for a few second and them squeeze the nock to close them a bit. then run it under cold water to reset the hardness.

A lot of guys used to wrap dental floss around the nocking area to build it up.
It works but I find it hard to,secure the floss.
Changing,out the nocks to be the same would probably be worth it.

I would imagine that if you sent the string back to Pierre with one of the nocks, he could re-serve it with serving that would fit the nock, and it probably wouldn't cost too much.

I learned to make my own skinny strings, and generally use some combination of .018 and .021 serving in two layers, depending on the nock.  It's kind of fun to do yourself, if you have the interest.

If it was me, I would change the nocks so they would work with either arrows. I bet Marco nocks would work.

I don't know what they use, but I use Marco knocks from Black Widow on my 6 strand SBD. They fit perfect on the 9/32 & 5/16 knock.

Thanks for all the advice. I appreciate it!

Try 9/32 Marco snap mocks they are snigger on the string
