Len,
Are you feeling colorful today?
I have been kicking around the idea of trying the Scott Lil Goose though Jeff has suggested that I try one of the Carter models. I have little experience with them though I am guessing this is the type of release that you are referring to.
No, I have not tried the slip-on loop either. I have not had any of the loops I tied slip or come undone as of yet so I really do not see any advantage to the slip-on version. Plus, the slip-on version is more difficult to initially install as the bow must be put in a press.
Thanks for the nock tip. I will try that one out on the next bow when I install the loop.
The string creep (or stretch) is something that you have to contend with no matter what style of nock/loop you use.
True, but I have found it somewhat easier to uninstall and reinstall a brass nockset in comparison to a string loop provided the string loop is cinched extremely tight.
I just had to reserve a brand new WC string for the customer because the serving slipped up in just a dozen shots. I called WC and got VERY LITTLE satisfaction. Needless to say, George Bowman (
www.bowmancustomstrings.com) got a call very quickly.
I would take that to mean that you have had better luck with George Bowman' s servings?
