Well, it was a good thought but needs a little fine tuning. When I tied the loop on the other night, I tied it just a little short thinking that after a few shots the knots at the bow string would tighten up a little and it would work out to the right length. However, I didn' t anticipate that all of the braids would also get tighter after a few shots. So after only 5 or 6 arrows, the loop was stretched to about 1/2" longer than it needed to be. I haven' t given up yet. I' ll just remove & retie it and try again but shooting off the string just seems like much less hassle.
