Nocks and Bowstrings

[wingate_52]

Changing my indoor arrows from 2014 X7 to 500 Fatboys also means I go from small groove easton g nocks to large groove easton 3D super nocks.
What is the best way to build up the string to the correct diameter.
Super glue, thread and superglue?
Any other problems apart from button, arrowrest, sight marks, tuning, etc.

Use thicker diameter serving for the centre of add some strands to your string. I think Easton sell a large and small big nocks for fatboys.

Good old Dental Floss from your chemist will do the trick if you don't want to re serve your string. It is an old trick I picked up at the club. I took a length about 6" long and centred in at the top knock, then tied a single knot. I then wrapped one end clockwise and one end anticlockwise around the string between the knocking points and finised it with another knot at the bottom. It is still holding up fine.

Couldn't agree more, it worked for me on bigger nocks.

Nice idea Max, I can give that a try, and maybe Morphy can show me his string tomorrow at Wigan.

I will either use the knotted string method, or I wil buy some Beiter 19's if that fais.

I found larger nocks caused tab problems re clearance too.
