Hi All !

RE: Loop problem
You are getting what is called nock pinch. That means there is not enough room for your nock between the knots of your loop. Try to slide the upper knot up a little bit to give your nock some more room.
Don't try to slide the bottom knot down because it will change your nock height which will cause you to have to resight in your bow.

RE: Loop problem
i got this new video, some michael somebody, anyway, he's got his loop below his arrow's nock. i couldn't see if he had a tied in pt. above the loop or if the nock went right above the loop and then above the nock was a tied in pt., but that's why he had it. seen a lot of talk about this on AT and lots of pictures. anyone know what the deal with that is?
in other words, from the bottom, loop knot, loop knot, nock, tied in nocking pt.

Something along these lines?
I used to shoot that way, but I found that I wasn't able to attatch my release as quickly or without looking like I was when I had it set up the other way. I quickly switched it back to the way I have it in my previous post.

yeah, like that, except with tied in nocing pts, not brass. what's the deal with it. i mean this guy on the video, michail braden, he's won like everything, so i'm sure there are reasons. anyone know what they are?
