loop or not

[AZwhitebear]

I've shot my bow for about three years and the serving is wearing out at the nocking point.

 

I'm thinking about going with a sting loop or maybe even a T.R.U. nock.

 

I've heard these are noisy and that both of them slow down your arrow.

 

So I guess my question would be to loop or not to loop?

FOR SURE!!! Go with a string loop, have it tied by a professional, in a good pro shop and you'll never regret it. If you're using a drop away rest make sure you tie a small knot of serving material under the nock and then tie on the loop, this gives more room for your arrow to "flex" on the string as it raises up... i.e, the loop wont pinch your knock... Stay away from the metal ones, as they are noisy, hard on strings, and way more then you need when a string works so nicely.

you will probably need to make a few minor adjustments if you switch to a loop...

 

String loops are awesome, and they save your string serving, and maybe even make you more accurate downrange.

Go with the string loop for sure! The benefits it provides in accuracy and string life alone far outweigh the minor speed loss you might have, and there isn't any noise issue with them either. And the speed issue comes down to only a few fps, totally worth the benefits you'll recieve from using it.

The best part about the lop is it takes the torque out of your draw. lots of times you will draw the bow back with the release on the string and there will be a little torque to one side of the other and that will mess with your accuracy more than you would ever think.

 

Get the loop and you will be happy.

Gee wiz. Man up and shoot fingers! Your name is Arizona White Bear. Use your paws. Loops are for sissy's. Don't let these she-men neuter you.

PS it is a good idea to learn how to tie them yourself it is easy after a few practice tries.. Make sure they are very tight and you will not need a peep tube. Tru nock is handy if you like slight nock adjustments for tuning purposes and they keep peep aligned also. Either way you will be happy. Just kidding about the paw stuff. Welcome to the sight.

If you go to the Sims Limbsaver website there is a slow-mo video of shooting with or without a loop, big difference in how the arrow slides down the string without a loop. Definitely sold me on a loop.

you guys are a riot could you imagine trying to shoot 32" axle to axle with fingers!!!!

String loop for sure. The TRU nock has horrible accuracy noise and slows down your arrow just a bad product if you are comparing it to a string loop.

[AZWildcat]

String loop all the way!!

LOOP!
