Default RE: Dloop?

This kind of indirectly answers your question...at the very least, it's a great thing to keep in mind when tying your D-Loop. I also have an article which is more in depth that I found from another guys D-loop tying, etc. I'll post that soon...


[hr]
A loop was designed to cure arrow pinch on small bows and get the arrow out straight from problem bows (tuning them)if you don't, need it, don't put it on. The first picture shows the wrong way to tie a loop[/i][/b] on your string. Notice the end knots they are tied the same with the knots behind the loop; this causes the loop to turn on your string. One Knot should be behind the loop and the other in front of the loop[/i][/b]. This stops it from turning around your bowstring.



The second picture is correct[/i][/b] with serving above and below the nock to locate your arrow correctly. It should not be too tight against the arrow but close. Brass nock points in your loop takes away from your bows speed. Serve your nock points in. This is the only way to tie it correctly there are other ways to install a loop but they fail to correct the problems the loop was created to correct. One bad way, illustrated below was to tie the loop under a nock point which added the pinch it was designed to get rid of. Your loop should look like the second picture with the ā€˜D’ loop tied on correctly.
