I'll second that!

That would be "third" that... I already seconded it! [8D]

Iprefer them this way because it gives you a little more consistant downpressure but I have tied them like greg posted and I like it that way as well.


I don't normally like them this long but I was needing a draw length adjustment and couldn't get whereI needed without tying it long.

RE: D loop...nock position
 

You can tweak you D loops position by spinning it in 360 degree rotations around your string on theserving.

Look which way your serving was put on and twist the D loopin the appropriate direction to move it up or down. The serving twisted around the string will work much like threads (read nut and bolt)

However with tied in nock sets in place this will not work. Also, I would rather just retie a new one than screw around moving one over a 1/8" though.

i dont even use a nock on mine

RE: D loop...nock position
 

I think I'm going to try to add a string loop to my bow like the one Matt uses. http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=2042376&mpage=2&key=loop

I guess the "nocks" are tied with serving material right? I guess you use the same type of knot you would for tying in a peep sight?

Thanks for all the help guys,

Dave

RE: D loop...nock position
 

Dave, you can use serving material... I've actually bought a couple spools of BCY nock-tying material that works really well.

One of these days I'll make an instructional how-to thread... but I double up a piece of dental floss and lay that alongside the bowstring (center serving). I then wrap around it to achieve my desired length of nockset (four wraps for the top nock; eight wraps for the bottom nock) and then push the tag end of the nock-tying string through the loop made by the dental floss. I then pull the dental floss back through under the serving, and it leaves no visible knots -- just wrapped string. It's really slick and works perfectly. Pull both tag ends snug and you can move the nock up and down the serving and position it where you want, then pull tight and melt the ends.
