To put an arrow on a bow, nock the arrow on the string and draw the string back.
There are a few things you need to do in order to put an arrow on a bow. First, you need to find the right size arrow for your bow. Second, you need to open the bow’s arms, or whatever is holding the string, so that you can place the arrow in the string’s path. Finally, you need to put the arrow in the string and close the arms back up. If you have done all of these things, your arrow should be securely on your bow and ready to fire.
How Do You Put An Arrow On A Bow?
To put an arrow on a bow, you insert the end of the arrow with the point into the bowstring at the top of the bow, and then pull the arrow back until the nock (rear end of the arrow) is resting against the bow.
1. Open your quiver and remove an arrow. Inspect the arrow to ensure there are no cracks or damage to the shaft and that the fletching is securely attached.
2. If you are right-handed, hold the bow in your left hand and the arrow in your right hand. Place the index finger above the nock (the plastic piece at the back end of the arrow) and the middle and ring finger below the nock.
3. Place the arrow on the bowstring. The cock fletch (the colored fletching closest to the nock) should be pointing away from the bow.
4. Draw the arrow back until the nock is resting on your index finger (known as the kisser button) and the arrow is at full draw.
5. Take a breath and aim. When you are ready to shoot, release the string and follow through with your shot.
What Is The Best Way To Put An Arrow On A Bow?

Putting an arrow on a bow is a pretty simple process, but there are a few things you need to make sure you do to ensure a successful and safe shot. Here are the steps you need to take to properly put an arrow on a bow:
1. Inspect your arrow to make sure there are no cracks or damage that could cause it to break during shooting.
2. If you are using a finger tab or glove, put it on your shooting hand now.
3. Open the jaws of your bow’s arrow rest.
4. Place the arrow on the rest, making sure the cock feather (or fletching) is pointing away from the bow. The cock feather is the one that is usually a different color than the others.

6. Draw the bowstring back, being careful not to touch the arrow with your hand.
7. Take aim and release the arrow!
