    I just recently put a new string on my bow and when I nocked an arrow, it fell off. I asked to use serving for Bohning X-Nocks. Can this be corrected without re-serving with larger material? Could I just change nocks to some that would at least snap on the string? I am shooting the FMJ AXIS ST's so I really don't know if they make another nock for this arrow.

    Thanks in advance,

    Bobby

    Hey Bobby. Heat some water, not quite boiling, dip the nock end in it, place on string, and with pliers,(don't want to get burned!), slightly pinch the nock together. hold until cool. That should work.
    BTW, I won't be mailing the Zwickey heads. My office was burglarized and the stole the package they were in. Sorry. The guys got caught but haven't yet admitted where anything is.

    Sorry to hear that Greg. It's ok though about the heads. I will give the hot water trick a try.

    Bobby, some guys just use dental floss and touch up the area where the nock fits on the string, just an idea!
