I have found these knotless loops to be a lot easier to use than then tied-in loop. They are stiffer and therefore easier to clip the release onto. They are more durable and they never come untied. I still keep the loop material on hand - just in case, but I mucho prefer this:


Knotless Loop™

how does it work?

Where did you find that??? Looks intresting!!Walt

Yeah.. good question..

I think you have to take your string off to put it on. It has loops on both ends.

Cabela's has them under the brand name of 'Knotless Loop" (not very inventive...).

You have to take the string off to put it on but it will outlast 3-4 tied on D-loops. It's worth it to me to prevent the possibility of the loop coming untied at some incovenient time/place.

They are never tight enough to stop them from spinning.

Tried them as my very first D Loop, will never use another than one I tie myself.

(and yes, you have to have a press and take the string off one side to use them them. )

I'd venture to say I probably shoot as much as anyone who posts in these forums... and I've never had a d-loop come untied on me. Not saying this isn't a nifty little piece of inventiveness, but I'd rather have the knowledge to tie on a loop properly than to have to put my bow in a press every time I needed to change out a d-loop.

Besides that, you lose the ability to fine-tune your anchor point by not controlling the length of the release material... unless they sell these in different lengths, at which point I also wouldn't want to have to buy several of these just to find the correct length to fit my shooting form.

I agree with Greg 100%.

If a loop is tied properly and made of good material it won't come untied and will last just as long asyour bow string.

99% of loop problems can probably be attributed to either crappy material to begin with and/ orthe inability to tie one on properly.

I'd also bet that those knotless loops weight at least twice as much as a tied on loop.
