i just got a rope sting loop to put on my bow and would like to do it myself because they say it is easy. however i have no clue how to get it tied? how is it done? if someone has pictures of step by step or something i would apperaciate (sp) it.

thanks!!

Someone else recently asked this same question. If you go back about 3 pages, there is a topic tltled "Release Aid String Loop" that has some great info on this. Good Luck!

Yes the last post on this was very good and had step by step pictures.

thanks a lot! i thought i saw that on here a while ago and i must have spent and hour looking for it and finally decided that i must have dreamed it up. lol but really thanks i had no clue as to how to tie them. i think i got it right but i have only shot it acouple of times.

just a question though what is the difference between the rope loops and the metal ones? i didn't know but i was told the rope loops where better? so i went to my buddies shop and he ended up giveing me about 2 ft of the stuff for free because he said he only would use the metal ones? so it was a good day!

The metal ones are made out of metal. LOL No, they are heavier and wear the serving and jaws of the release down faster.

what is a string loop?

they are a loop that holds the arrow inbetween itself so your release is directly behind the arrow

go here to see a picture
string loop

If you notice in pictures of others bows, its a piece of rope that forms a D hence name D-loop behind the nock. It eliminates nock pinch and usually improves overall arrow flight.

be careful with those string loops, I have tied them in exceptional knots, and they came undone during the drawback on 3 occasions this year. I know you're all thinking it's the shooter, nope I did "EXACTLY" how the instructions and bow shop did, only when they got wet and worked around ( i spot and stalk hunt, too) they got frayed and just came undone altogether. I use a Ultra Nok XL now, and I love it! Just something to think about...
