Do you think you can make something like this ?

thanks for the heads up greg. i'll try. i'm not sure my hooks will get that close so i don't know how i can hold it tight to serve it. how do you install it? looks like a good idea.

[Greg / MO]

I was wondering the same thing about the install...

I guess you'd have to press the bow and remove one end of the string to get the second knot of the loop around it, and then tie both knots in later after putting the string back on... At least that's what it looks like to me they did.

[TerryM]

You are actually threading the bowstring through both ends of the loop. The only thing is you have to loop the ends over themselves ( kinda turning one bigger loop into 2 smaller loops). It actually looks very much like a regular tied on loop but there are no knots as its continuous. Very simple really. And yes you need to press the bow so you can feed the string through it.

i still don't understand the loops loop over themselves part. i see how you could put one on kind of like a d loop, but you wouldn't need a press and you couldn't do it to the other one.

There is a close up of one You can put one end on the have to press the the bow and remove the string to do the other. They run $9.99 at Cabelas. For that money Ill just tie a loop.

[gibblet]

i still don't get it, i'm kinda slow. and i don't think the loop will be very flexible, not like you'd want it to be. it would really twist your string if you shoot a handheld without a rotating head. if you shoot a wrist strap no problem, but its going to weigh more thana normal loop.

I bought one and put it on my bow string. Nice solid loop, not too big. The problem that I had was it kept "flipping around" on the string after the shot. I could not seem to get it as tight as the regular loop. It never did move up or down, as I served it in. But it did flip around on the string alot.
