"Fixing an arrow to the/a string" is old-fashioned, whereas "nocking an arrow" is more commonly-heard. (Doing Google searches of each phrase somewhat corroborates this.)  As such, I've inserted "nock" in front of "fix an arrow" to indicate this relative sense of usage.

This gets some 20k Google hits. It appears in my dictionaries. Perhaps, you would consider promotion.
The following "RHs" could be deleted:-
番える 【つがえる】 (?) ???; RH
番る 【つがえる】 (?) ???; RH
It also appears in children's stories, but in kana. If anyone searched the site based upon that, it would be good if this came up.
JB: Can you source the senses other that fitting an arrow? That's all I can find.
