RE: String loop question...
 

OK, one more question. What type of string do I use for this? What number? Type? etc...

Is this a universal type string that I can use for Serving and for these types of things?

Personally, I use a .026 diameter braided center serving, but you could use .022. Just don't use monofiliment. It's usually about 13-14 dollars a spool. But it will last an aweful long time.

I have toyed with different methods. I have found I like to put two nocks on. One on either side of the arrow. I then put my loop next to the nocks. I think it is all personal pref.. I have a friend who doesnt even use a nock. He uses his loop as his nock.

There are a lot of little ways people develop for doing their tackle. I can't however think of any good reason for having nocks and a loop. The people who did the slow mo on this system don't recomend any nocking point. You just add weight, and increase the stress on the serving, and add nock pinch to a system that was desinged to eliminate it. Not sure I see the point. I shoot both big and small nocks out of the same loop position, and go back and force. One would thing that would make for haywire results, but it doesn't seem to mater.

Ossage, my thoughts exactly. If you are going to use nock sets, just shoot off the string. The pinch you get while at full draw will hold your arrow with no chance of falling off. I would think that as the string straightens out on release the pinch would go away and give a clean release. You can let down with your arrow pointed straight down and it doesn't come off. I might be wrong about this as I'm just a dumb ole country boy though:eek:. Don

I irratic flight from arrow pinch happens when the arrow leaves the string because the nock is not in it's full position. If you wonder if you have arrow pinch simple pull your bow with an arrow on to full draw as you normally would and anchor, now let up on the bow and do not release. Is your nock still in position, or did it start to slip off the string somewhat?

I am very prone to it because of the somewhat short A to A and long draw length on my compound. Not a big problem with my 66 inch longbow.
