D LOOPS

[deerstalker]

just a quick question when you change over to a D loop do you leave the brass nock on or not ? I had a look on net about tying one and it had no nock but i thought it would move without it ?

Shane, before tying your D-loop, use some serving thread (in place of your brass nocking point), both above and below the nock. Remember to,
1. measure with arrow on string and leave a very small gap between your nock and nocking points so that when the string is on an angle at full draw, it won't pinch your nock.
2. "mushroom" (slightly melt) the end of the thread so that it doesn't pull through when you tie off the serving thread.
Of course, your D-loop will be above and below your nocking points. Hope this helps.

not sure what you mean mate. If your talking about the brass button that you have on a string to hold your nock in the correct position you dont need it because your arrow nock fits between the two end knots of the d loop of string or metal depending on which type you use.

1-Install D-loop
2-Throw nocking points away.:D
3- Have fun...

I do em two ways, 1st. just a d loop, pulled tight with nock pliers. 2nd. I do a served nocking point, which goes under the nock. The bottom loop knot goes under and up against this, than a gap (1/4"approx.) than the top knot. The reason for this being, that not only to stop nock pinch, but because the nocking point is above half way on the string, the release pulls to the top of the loop, which puts it directly behind the arrow.

mate. when i set the d loop i put the nock above the loop that way it cant move hope this helps cheers

I use a slight bit of serving, tooth floss works well, and then the "D" loop with one loop above and the other below the serving . I am currently using a knotless "D" loop that I got from the USA but when it expires I think I will go back to using the "loopy" made by Clint Freeman... it goes under the nocking point and as it comes in a single loop it is very easy to attach securely to the bow string it is designed to easily slip around the string thereby eliminating any string torque..;);)

I leave the brass nock on, and tie a nocking point on just below the arrow nock. Leaving a small gap to avoid nock pinch.

Then tie the d-loop on as tight as possible.

The more on the string..the slower..so ditch the brass nock..and only knock above the nocking point as arrows tend to slip up the string and not down...cheers...;)
