I am sure you guys have been asked this before but here goes again.
I got a length of string from a bow shop and tied it on as per instructions and after drawing back the bow two times I see the tag ends (that have been melted into a mushroom shape) pulling into the knot. The end pulled into the knot with maybe a 32nd protruding. I tied it with about a quarter inch of excess sticking out of the knot and pulled the tag end with a pair of pliers. I can just see myself bitch slapping myself and then waking up laid out on the floor. Any hints guys?

yep, while your first reaction will be to throw your bow into something concrete, don't. i gave myself a fat lip the other day, but it was me, not my loop.

can you take a pic of it?

Get a knotless loop and don't worry about it.

I will gibblet. Thank you for the offer to help. I will try to keep my finger nails out of this. The bow is at work where I shoot it so I will post tomorrow. Again, thank you.

depending on the release you use, i could make one of those knotless loops, but you'll have to really serve it in place. they aren't flexible, so you'd be stuck with a index trigger release, unless you shoot a handheld with your palm horizontally.

I am interested. I have a Truefire Judge release and may buy a Winn. I am assuming what a served string is better?

i personally don't think the knotless loop is better. i made one, and don't like it. its heavy, and stiff, and then add all the serving to keep it in place.

Those "mushroom heads" will hold if they are big enough. When I tie a loop on I make it smaller than it should be,trim off the excess to about 3/16", then light it for a second. Before the melted end hardens I tap it a little with a wet finger until the "mushroom" is about 1/8" in diameter (orat least twicethe diameter of the string), then let it cool for a few minutes. After I draw afew times the loop gets a little larger and the ends settle firmly into the knots. I've never had one pull loose! Of course you should inspect it periodically. And I wouldn't draw back toward my face...draw then lean your head towards your peep.

please don't lean your head towards the peep. the peep should meet your vertical head.

the way i was told to do it was to tie it on with a small loop, then put a pair of needle nose pliers into the loop a small ways then pull the handles out so the pliers are pushing on the string and loop titen like hell. then cut off the tag ends and melt them into a big mushroom like NCYankeesaid but dont heat to long or it will make it weak then titen it again and the ends should stay put. it sounds like u just didnt titen it first or u cut the tag ends to short but the good thing is string is cheap so u can practise a few times withoutitspending to much money. andif u pull hard enof on the pliers it will show u if it will work or not because thay put more force on the loop than pulling back the bow will
