Wanted to see if anyone used a ultra-nok or is it better to stick with a regular loop? thanks

Loop all the way.
Lighter, cheaper, quieter.....what's not to love? |

Loop. You will have all kinds of trouble with the UN.

The last thing you want to add to your string is a metal loop, unless you are looking for more trouble than you can handle. Some might argue the point but it is absolutely one ofthe worst things you can do with a bow.

I guess I'll jump in as the only ultra-nok user/fan. I've used them for years without the 1st problem. Have had to change a couple due to wear but that's natural,as with anything that gets used a lot and is subject to high pressures. I've been a fan of ultra-noks ever since I tried to change a couple times and had to phyically look down to nock arrow on string with string loops-that resulted in 1 missed oppertunity on a trophy buck for sure.

Some might argue the point but it is absolutely one of the worst things you can do with a bow. There are so many disadvantages vs advantages to using a metal loop that I won't waste my time typing. However, there are a few safety issues I saw when working in a shop. There were a couple bows brought in with metal loops where the string broke at the top of the metal loop. And I mean snapped. It's due to the sharp angle and constantkink at that point. Strings aren't meant to be subjected to such sharp bends all the time. This is made even worse with today's ultra short bows and longer draw lengths. |

I agree with most on this, stay away from the metal and go with a BCY loop.
Learn to tie your own. It really is simple. Greg has a great step by step instructional thread as a sticky in the technical section. Dan |

I'll just stick with my metal Ultra-nok until something like that happens. Seems to me as long as somebody inspects their equipment once in a while and makes needed changes/upgrades, the argument of breaking or causing string to break is null & void. To each his own.

The idea is that it's kind of like climbing a treestand without a harness. You can do it for a lifetime and nothing bad may happen. It's only gotta happen once and things can get quite ugly. Or how about those life insurance premiums we pay? We only have to die once to collect so why do we waste a lifetime paying for something that may not happen for a very long time? |

I would stick to a loop. the ultra nok will wear out your release from the metal to metal contact, as well as slowing your speed down.

RE: loop or ultra-nok
I have to disgree with you on this. I had no issues. You pretty much dont have to worry about the UN breaking or coming untied at full draw like you do with the loop.

RE: loop or ultra-nok
I have a metal loop, in a junk box on my bow table.;)
I just do not see any need to screw a metal loop to a string when there are solid, easily made string loops available for pennies. They're lighter, giving you speed and can be adjusted to any length you want to tweak your draw length. I've heard several horror stories about the metal ones breaking strings, or flying off and hitting the shooter in the arm, head, etc. No way one of those thing will be on my bow. |
