Is it worth putting a nocking point on straight away and adjusting it as the string stretches, or can I shoot without a nocking point until its stretched in ?

Before I shoot for the first time (or even everytime before shooting) do I need to do anything to the bow such as warm it up/stretch it in or something ?
Hope you enjoy it!

Don't see why you shouldn't shoot it without a nocking point at first.

For warming up before each session I believe the advice is that the bow should be gently flexed several times in increasing increments before taking it to full draw and gently letting down a few times.
