The Knock and the String ?

I ain't never did anything to mine just shot em. That sounds very innovative though. Let us know how they shoot and hold up. Holy Smokes

 

ummm ive never done anything to mine.... you dont want it to come off to easy, ive seen guys with tight string loops that put a little pressure on the nock during draw, and the arrow falls off the string....

 

Never touched mine either. Never really thought about it to tell the truth.

 

I've tried prying the nock apart a little bit. Never seem to make any difference.

 

Knock fit

I've always heard that your knock should be tight enough for the arrow to hang down off the string and come loose with a small tap on the string. Sounds like you got em just right. I use a small screwdriver and spread mine as necessary. I think it does make a small difference in elevation grouping

 

Listen to Chris. Most likely smaller serving is what you need. It comes in several different diameters measure in thousandths of an inch (.017, .021, .026).

By sanding you got the right fit by the sounds of things so that's what you're shooting for. But, as he mentioned, they are not uniform. You're human.

And make no mistake about it. Nock fit to the string can be much more important than people realize. I work with mine till I get the fit I want. Mine snap n very lightly and are actually just a bit loose when in place.

 

not to argue but thats great changing the serving out if you know how to do this and have the proper tools to do this.....and to have a shop change out the serving on your brand new bow/string.....may not be the answer....

if you know how to change the serving on your bow then great but what about the other guys???

 

Learn how to do it...I did :tongue1:

 

I do I was speaking of the people that do not no how.....and what about the youngsters? they deserve as nice working equipment as us.....

 

You are right oh wise one...we need to teach the youngsters the ancient ways, so they will not forget from wence they come....:biggrin1:

But seriously...I think every archer should know the basics of bow maintainence...and serving is one of them...it's not difficult and you really don't need special tools.

 

I dont know about your bows but I have always found it alot easier in a press to change your serveing.....

 

Oh it is easier...but not a necessity...

 

I'll side with brokenarrow on this one. By the way Bowman, obviously we've been around the bowstring a while now. Just how did you learn to reserve a string and do other maintenance? If anything like me it was like eating dinner----dig in.

 

That's the only way I know how to learn anything....:biggrin1:

 

I had a couple of great teachers and top of the line equipment to use......the normal person may not.....

 

Who you callin' NORMAL??!!??:boxing:

 

back off slick....your as abnormal as they come....I was speaking of the younger people or people who just started.....

you taught your self how to reserve your string w/no help from ANYONE OR ANYTHING??? no person or manuel or instruction sheet or web site.....thusly and so on......
