Thanks guys, I will tie it the opposite way on the next loop that I put on. I think that I will be OK with it after I get a little more confidence in it. But right now, when I' m shooting, I am being over cautious probably and making sure that I don' t draw back to my face.
I would bet that if you tied a loop on, and left the ends a little long and unmelted you could shoot the loop securely. The fraying would drive you crazy (tickle the side of your mouth) but it would hold secure.
No, this didn' t work. That is the same thing that I thought the first time I put the loop on. The loop seems to need that extra mushroom in order for it to stop slipping. When I tried without the mushroom, it kept slipping. That is one of the reasons that I am a little concerned. But as long as that mushroom holds, I would think that it would be OK.
