Default D-Loop Trouble

Do you guys ever have a hard time finding your d-loop? In low light conditions I find it very hard to find mine. Also, my d-loop is not sticking straight back its 9- degrees counter clockwise of where I want it to be.

As long as your loop and your peep align, correctly....you can twit your string on stand to alleviate the twisting problem.

I also went with a high(er) visibility loop material color to make sure I could get to it quickly.

Hope this helps.

That is very cool. And yes the peep always lines up right.

i agree with bowtech....i dont even have to look...ive hooked up while watching deer...i rather not have to move my head, take my eyes off the deer and risk getting busted...just keep my eye on them and hook up when they arent looking

Maybe I am in the minority but I have my release hooked to the d-loop most of the time while I am hunting. Otherwise I hunt out of a ground blind so that much movement below the window is usually no big deal.

I use a thumb trigger release. I just clip it on and let it hang. No worries about hooking up with deer in front of me.

qz.....

What happens when you mistakenly hit that trigger?

LOL....I'm using one this year, too....but mine has a wrist lanyard. I LOVE my Just Cuz.....and I may get another one (sold mine[:@]) and use the one I have (with the lanyard) as a backup.....and just do what you do.

The Just Cuz I sold is th eone in the photo. Love it. Wish I still had it.
