Default arrow falling off string

My arrow keeps falling off string becasue of the angle.
If i install a string loop, or metal loop will it prevent my arrow from falling off the string ?

Thanks

I dont understand "angle" but it really sounds like your serving might be worn.... that would be the reason your arrows slip off the string,

The serving is almost new.
By angle i mean the angle of the string where the nock meets the sting.
I think that if i put a loop on the string there would be an even amount of pressure above and below the arrow which would put the nocking point at less of an angle.

your arrow is falling off because your nocks on the string are too close together.loosen them up and put a square on the rest and set your nock ponit where it is now if it shoots good there or set the bottom nock square with the rest.then crimp only the bottom one and leave the top loose.then put a arrow on and pull it to full draw.this will push the top nock where it needs to be.then let the bow down.take the arrow off the string and crimp the top nock.this will keep the top nock from pinching your arrow off.make sure your arrow nocks fit good and are not real loose either.hope this helps.this does work I've been there.

This is the angle im talkin bout.
Only one nock on string. The nock arrows nock is small and cannot stay on becasue of angle of string.

add another nock to the string.or loosen the top nock on the string and draw it back the same way.then crimp the nock after your done drawing it back.I would add another nock though.or put a loop on.either way.

I think he means that his release is pinching the nock of the arrow against his set nock when he's at full draw. In your case, I'd definitely install a string loop, I had the same problem for awhile on my old bow, but once I got a loop it never happened again.

they make these little cushion buttons that go between your release and the bottom of your nock for that very reason. they are cheap, but you'll need a press to intall them. any shop should have them and be able to put them on for you in a matter of minutes.
