RE: Off the string or loop
I' m another who uses tied-in nock sets, above and below the nock. My loop is a " catfish" loop that is tied above and below the nock sets. The " catfish" loop is not practical for a pro shop to tie, because of the time involved tying one, but I love the adjustability and how easy it is to make one the exact length and thickness you want. The catfish loop isn' t as good at controlling a peep because it' s not as easy to tie one tight enough to control the string, but I don' t use a peep, so it' s not a concern for me. On the other hand, since it' s not as tight on the string, it moves easily up or down the string when moving a nock set.
Great thread everyone!
