String adjustment
« on: August 13, 2019, 11:49:36 AM »
I have some wood arrows coming. I’m pretty sure the nocks will be loose on my string. Is there a quick way I can beef the string/serving up to try the wood arrows ? Thanks Guys

Temporary fix is dental floss on the serving. Permanent fix is to reserve the string

x2 on the dental floss. It often is more permanent than you might guess.

In my experience, dental floss wears very quickly. Reserving is the best solution.

Floss has been in my archery box for 45 years. Great stuff as is artificial sinew

Might try warming nocks in hot water and pinching them closed a little.

X2 on what blacktailbob said. Quick and easy.
Never measure the mountain until you have reached the top, then you will see how low it is.
