I thought I had seen this already mentioned somewhere but for the life of me, I can't find it.

Anyway, I'm in the process of setting up one of my bows to start practicing with a string loop and was just wondering, is there a "prefered" length of rope to start off with before tying? Just wondering what the majority of the string loop shooters cut there lengths at, especially if they buy there rope by the foot??

I have a couple that are 4 inch, is that good or maybe too long??


Also, I noticed that some put a brass nokset just above the bottom knot and some tie on below the bottom knot and above the top knot. Which would be better or do you suggest neither of these??

Thanks everyone..
