    My first bow should be coming tomorrow (YEAY) and I only just realised I bought two strings but no nocks, I assumed arrows came nocked but apparently not :(

    So wondering how do you guys put a nock on your strings?? All advice would be welcome

    Are you missing nocks on the arrows or nock locators on the string?
    You can use short narrow strips of masking tape or insulating tape as nock locators until you someone sorts you out.

    Nock locators on the strings, 'm used to using a club bow with a brass nock on it so 'd like to do that to the strings if possible

    Here's a way to do nock locators using serving thread. Being lighter than brass nock sets will give you extra ooomph from your limbs.
