Anchoring
To draw back the bowstring.
As long as they were pulled completely out and not broken off at the base, they should grow back in. It will take a couple of months or longer, but they should come back.
A nock (with no K) is the groove at the back of an arrow. The bowstring fits into that groove. I could not shoot the arrow, since the nock had broken, and the bowstring would slip.
Time seemed to stop as I was drawing back the bowstring. I'll never forget the looks on their faces as they were drawing back in horror.
The bowstring is drawn back, and caught by a mechanism that holds it in the drawn position. A crossbow bolt (arrow) is placed in the groove in the center, ahead of the string. Pulling the trigger releases the string, and fires the bolt. Some crossbows require a lever or winding mechanism to draw back the bowstring.
The archer is imparting potential energy to the bowstring by drawing it back. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when the bowstring is released, propelling the arrow forward.
If there is conclusive video evidence that the puck completely crossed the goal line, then yes, it is a goal regardless of whether or not the puck was in a glove at the time or not.
Yes, because in drawing the string back you put potential energy into it.

A bowstring is the string used to draw back and shoot arrows from a bow. It is crucial for transferring the energy stored in the bow limbs to the arrow upon release. Bowstrings can be made from various materials like Dacron, Fast Flight, or high-performance synthetic fibers.
The reaction force to a bowstring acting on an arrow would be the arrow pushing back against the bowstring with an equal force and in the opposite direction. This reaction force propels the arrow forward when the bowstring is released.
