I have found out that if I keep myD-loop lubricated with graphite powder, that it resolves a problem with arrows going ~2"left at 20 yds after a few practice sessions. (I use a Wynn ss caliper release; I just startedusing a release 18 months ago after decades of using fingers(http://www.winnarchery.com/sscaliper.html). Ialso suspectoils from my fingersmay have caused/aggravated the problem;I have stoppedmyhabit of touching/working the release's jaws while idle onthe tree stand, yet I still have had to lube the D-loop recently.

Questions: I've never heard of "lubricating" D-loops, is this normal? Would PTFE be better than graphite? Should I just change out the D-loop? (I have about 5 months of heavy useon it, novisible signs of wear- do they have a recommended "life span")?Should I just live withlubricatingthe D-loop,since I resolved (-??)the leftitis issue (thought I was torquing the bow)?

Thanks in advance for any comments, guidance.
