String loop fails
 

How many of you out there had one fail, meaning the knot pulled through and you may have punch yourself in the face and had an arrow sail away. I shot about 200 arrows through my new switchback when it happened. This is my first experience with the sting loop. I don't want this happening when drawing on a big buck. Was my bow shop just incompetent or are they known to fail.

I have one, so does my wife and one son. I have also tied a bunch for others, as far as I know none of them have ever come untied.

I have seen some different materials used. Some last alot longer than others. Just keep an eye on it, if it appears to be fraying, or the end looks like it is getting close to pulling through, then replace it. They are easy to replace.

I have not had one pull through yet. (knock on wood) Just make sure you burn the end and make a BIG mushroom there and it should be fine.

The camo stuff from Brownell's is the best I used. Lasts a long time, especially if you keep it waxed really well. Sounds to me like whoever tied the loop didn't do it right or didn't melt a big enough ball onto the end that pulled through.

Yes, I busted myself in the chops a few weeks ago. Felt good. The burnt knot pulled thru. A cool bloody lip and I found the arrow about 200 yds. away. Been using one for several years and this was a first.

I've been tinkering with a string loop on my backup bow. I've been hesitant on putting one on my primary bow because they make me nervous. Too many times have I heard of the loops coming undone at the absolute worst time.

I wholeheartedly agree on that one!!
