    I always put some serving string above and below. Not to keep the loop from moving but if something happens and i need to replace my d loop in the field, then I know where my nocking points are. Without them, I would only be guessing.

    this was helpful except that you said you need "some string material" so should I use thread? twine? cotton string? you should elaborate that it should be some paracord or something if someone uses the wrong "String material" they could have a premature release, possibly hurting or killing someone

    The D Loop is too small to accommodate the trigger release without the tip of the knock interfering. Please explain!

    Are D loops used on traditional bows and / or takedown recurve bows?

  • @nyhunterguy803
    @nyhunterguy803 9 років тому +1

    What about single cams where you nock an 1/8" high

    • @outdoorproductreview
      @outdoorproductreview  9 років тому

      NY HUNTERGUY I always set up my bows the same. Single cam or dual cam. If you choose to go higher, you might not get the tear when or if you paper tune it that you want.

    One Problem Im having, I have new Pse Decree.
    The book that came with the bow is calling for the nocking point to be place threw the middle of the burger hole too.
    But Im using a Qad drop away rest and the arms will not set flush on the arrow riser. so I had to move the nocking point up.
    Is that okay?

    • @outdoorproductreview
      @outdoorproductreview  9 років тому

      On some of the bows the rests forks do not touch the shelf. This is ok. The most important thing you want is the nocking poing correct. If the forks don't touch the shelf, that is fine. Otherwide, you will never get your bow to shoot broadheads correctly.

    • @tripleb2128
      @tripleb2128 9 років тому +2

      Call QAD they have special launcher that is cut deeper specifically made for pse bows they sent me one for free. Just call and tell them you have the QAD rest and having issue getting rest to tune with a arrows through berger holes on your pse.

    Are all bow strings made up of 2 strings?

    • @outdoorproductreview
      @outdoorproductreview  7 років тому +1

      +TheBlimpAssassin the strings are two colors that are made from many individual strings. A bow string is not just one or two strings..

  • @rick31869

    two questions brother , is a metal D-loop/ring better or worst for everything ?
    can you use the smaller paracord the 350# i think for making D-LOOP ?

  • @geminidream4347

  • @Gettysburg2013
    @Gettysburg2013 9 років тому

    Great video, very helpful. 1 question, I have seen people use thin cord to ensure the arrow nock does not move around on the string. This goes inside the D loop. Is that a necessary step or do you just need the D loop?

    • @outdoorproductreview
      @outdoorproductreview  9 років тому

      Gettysburg2013 I never use one. If you install it like I showed, you should not have a problem.

    Im an amateur archer but do you need to have this whenever you use a compound bow with a caliper release?

    • @outdoorproductreview
      @outdoorproductreview  7 років тому +1

      No if you have a claw type release you can put it below the nock. However, that creates torsion on the string. I suggest trying this loop. practice and come back and watch this as many times until you get it right!! Thanks

  • @mattmanbrownbro
    @mattmanbrownbro 9 років тому

    Do you really need to burn the ends of that D loop, or can you tie knots and super glue them?

    • @outdoorproductreview
      @outdoorproductreview  9 років тому +1

      Burning them makes them bigger. Super glue has acid in it and you can actually damage the serving and string.

    • @mattmanbrownbro

    I have a problem with my recurve bow, after stinging it, the string "falls off".
    It is a Bear, Grizzly and it's marked 56" #48, which I have no idea what is it.
    Please an advise, I'm new to it, thanks.

    • @outdoorproductreview
      @outdoorproductreview  9 років тому

      +ronin4711 You might have a bent limb on your bow. Some recurves can actually develop a warped limb from being strung all the time or stored somewhere where it is hot. I would recommend that you take it to a shop to have them look at the limbs.

    • @ronin4711
      @ronin4711 9 років тому

      Someone mentioned that as a possible problem. Thanks.

    • @outdoorproductreview
      @outdoorproductreview  9 років тому

      ronin4711 no problem.

    • @ronin4711
      @ronin4711 9 років тому

      +Outdoor Product Review It seems that I have a slightly bent (1/8") limb.
      How/what can I do to fix this?

    • @outdoorproductreview
      @outdoorproductreview  9 років тому

      +ronin4711 Well unfortunately not much. You can see if you can get it steamed and pressed back into place, but you might be better off buying a new bow. Did you buy the bow new? If so, check on the warranty and see if you can get it replaced.

  • @calzoee
    @calzoee 10 років тому

    Did you use a smaller size paracord?

    • @outdoorproductreview
      @outdoorproductreview  10 років тому +3

      No that is BCY string loop material. You can purchase that at an archery shop or any archery dealer online.

    • @glennloyd67
      @glennloyd67 10 років тому

      D-loop or string loop material actually is small paracord

    • @shaneberkness2124
      @shaneberkness2124 9 років тому +1

      painter_G Actually it isn't. Paracord has a way higher break strength than d-loop rope, you probably won't use this on a parachute would you and if you do you will die a horrible death.

    • @glennloyd67
      @glennloyd67 9 років тому

      Some people know what they are talking about and some don't.

    I have been watching a lot of how to videos on nock placement and I have noticed that not everyone is putting the arrow as it relates to the burger button hole in the same place. Some are putting the bottom of the arrow to the top of the hole and some are dead centering the arrow over the hole . What is the correct place over the burger button .

    • @outdoorproductreview
      @outdoorproductreview  9 років тому +1

      justliketolook I always place the arrow directly in the center. That is where the cam turn over point is. I only want to see the top of the hole.
