Serving to match nock opening
«

I shoot 11/32" arrows with Classic nocks. I purchased a custom string about a year ago which fit the nock like a glove. The string appears to still be great though the serving is rather thin. I have read the TJ Conrads method of putting new serving on which I can easily do but then my nocks are a little loose. Do I need thicker serving string or is there a different method I am unaware of. I would rather not put the nocks in boiling water and squeeze them tighter.

I double-served my string to fit the larger throated nocks.

Butts, yes, serving material does come in different thicknesses... Off the top of my head I know of .018,.022, .026, and .030 and that is just the diamondback type serving..

I just do a small serving where the nock fits. Dental floss or a short piece of serving. Keep it simple. dino

all the methods will work but double serving, floss over etc equals double trouble as far as I am concered. seving can slip one their own, two is double the problems. Nothing beats a single well served center serving. getting the right diameter serving or changing thread count of string is cheap insurance when ya are a long way from home and the hunting is good

If the nock fit is only slightly off adjusting tension on your serving tool will make the difference. Less tension will make a thicker serving.
