Center Serving

The center serving is the wrapping in the middle section of the bowstring – where the arrow is nocked and where the fingers or release aid make contact.

Functions:

• Protects the strands of the string from abrasion
• Provides a defined resting surface for the nock
• Serves as the foundation for the nocking point

The center serving is made from special, abrasion-resistant thread and is tightly wrapped around the string.

Its thickness affects:

• The durability of the string
• How firmly the nock sits on the string
• The shooting feel
