String loop

[Virginia Hunter]

This is the deal, My string loop looks like it might slip. I'm going to get it changed but will it effect how my bow is shooting now? I'm shooting perfect bullet holes and the i'm shooting really well w/ my pendulum out to 30yds.

If it slips up or down and you don't have anything but it to indicate your nock point, yes it will affect flight...

If you have it well tuned, slap a nockset on that puppy or mark the exact point somehow so you can set the new loop in the same position.

This is one reason why many still use a tie on nock or something in addition to the loop.

If you have nocks installed on the string, there should be no difference at all. If you don't then as long as the loop is installed in exactly the same spot, you should be OK. Have the proshop measure (they probably will anyway).

Sorry, whe I said "slip", I meant it coming undone at the knot. I use a nock to keep it from sliding up and down.

I just replaced my tied on string loops with a new knotless type. It requires the string be taken off the bow to install it but I think it is worth it. See if your shop sells them.

Just measure the length of your loop, and you should be fine.....shorten or lengthen it though and it will hit high or low.

I too use the tied-on nok point.

I put a little white-out on the serving to see where my loop was at. I also replaced my loop with a knotless one. You need a bowpress to install it, but it cant come undone.
