Well my take on this is that (obviously) there HAS to be something causing the problem. I figure it's either one of two options....1. Poor installation or 2. serving issue (type of serving used).

Let's look at #1. Is it possible Jeff got 5 incompetent Pro Shop owners/ employees to install his string loop only to have him do is successfully himself on his first try? Possible, but highly improbable so #1 I feel is out of the question. I find it hard to believe that many Pro Shop owners/employees got it wrong.

Now #2. Could it be the serving that's on the 82nd is causing issues with the loop cinching down? I think this is probably the culprit. I say this because a lot of people (including myself) use different types of loop material day in and day out without a problem. I happen to like the braided camo loop material sold by Allen. I think it's grade "A" stuff. It's thick and holds it's shape perfect, it's sturdy and it cinches down and sticks to the string like a leach between your toes!

I believe someone (maybe Jeff) has said the the new BowTech uses a different material for their serving on the 82nd, is this true? If it's slicker that other "normal" serving material then the culprit seems pretty exposed.

Would BCY work well on my bow? Probably, but it's obviously not the only material that works well so it seems (to me at least) to be the serving that is the issue and not the loop material or installation.....dosen't it?

Here is what I use.....Allen loop materials, works GREAT!
