Check out this site for instructions on tying a string loop:

There are also six short video clips on the bottom of the page. The clips show a man tying a string loop.

bigrax..wat ru talking about.. i shot with you

I buy my loop material for $1/ft. That comes out to about $.25 per loop. Plus I don't think you got ripped off that bad. If people are too lazy to learn something that takes 2 min. to put on they should have to pay for it.

my proshop puts on loops free. He just has a big spool of material, cuts it to size, and puts them on, no charge as long as you're buying crap from him.

Are you kidding? Anyone in business knows that there must be some minimum charge for anything done for the customer. Do you realize the rent and overhead required to run a business? Free enterprise doesn't constitute free service. I would gladly pay $5 for that.

Screw the darned loops get one of them stainless steel release knock thingies like i have, theyll last a lifetime. Keepan eye on the crews once in a while to make sure they arent comming loose.

that is terrible... but the small biz guy gotta eat too.. I dont use loops...just one more thing to go wrong ...Like was suggested.. . do it yourself and save

rack tracker if your dying know im 15 and washdishes 2 nights a week and 5 bucks is pocket channge to me... just the fact that it cost so much for a piece of string

Not just a piece of string. Time spent on the customer and expertise and time to put it on. Plus the fact that if you don't like it for some reason, now the guy is obligated to make you happy as a customer. Not a perfect world we live in here youngin. If it were, bows would be free and so would we be....free to go hunting every darned day.

Learn how to do all of your setup yourself and you will be better off. My next purchase may be a bowpress where I can change my own strings and cables. The rest I do myself.
