Had the bow set up at a pro shop. It performed just fine kzread.infoUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . And I would say this is a good starting now that I could pass down to my son when he is older.But the package was missing the release and a nock was missing from one arrow.Dealing with customer support was terrible. They suggested I buy a new release rather than correct their own quality control issue because it’s to expensive for the. to ship it out from China.Update: manufacturer got back to me and resolved the issue. I retract the above statement.

Bought my first bow (Hoyt powermax) back in January and have absolutely fell in love with archery. 20-40 yards and I'm busting through fletchings with my groups, but I shoot hundreds of arrows a week. Started on 60lb draw weight and draw length was somewhere in between but couldn't get comfortable. My d-loop started to fray and with the virus I was unable to go to any shops because they're all closed. So found this video and it saved me!! I used bcy 24 spectra and put my d-loop at an inch so now my draw length is perfect. Also, I now have my bow maxed out at 70lbs and everything is working perfectly. Just wanted to drop in and say thanks for the videos and information.

Thanks man, I have been learning to work on my bow for the past 5 months, and between you and Dudley, I actually feel confident and my work supports it. I am so thankful for people like you, brother.

That is great to hear!! Thanks for watching!

I am so glad I found and watched this video. I am a left handed bullshooter. And my pro shop. ties my D loop. for a right handed shooter. I will now be telling my own D loops. Most of my bulwark. I will be doing at home from now on. Instead of waiting to get to a bow shop. spent the last two years. buying the equipment necessary. For working on my bows. I never did think about. the loop direction. since my pro shop. said they tied it in properly. Now I see it has been improper. It explains the extra torque on my bowstring.

Wow, fantastic job breaking it down, I been shooting bows since 94 and I’ve been putting on loops for many years, I don’t have a problem telling you I thought I knew how to put on a loop but you actually taught me something, thank you 🙏 great job, keep on putting out videos like this and you’ll have a fan.

Glad you found it helpful man!

I really appreciate your extreme attention to detail. Also the fact that you don’t lock out comments on your videos. I am new to archery and have no knowledge really to speak of in this so it’s a HUGE deal for beginners to be able to ask questions. I knew some bow hunters when I was a kid but they are all old crotchety guys now and won’t even answer questions. It’s really a comfort knowing there are some knowledgeable guys out there that truly want to educate people on the proper ways of doing things. The nearest pro shop to me won’t even touch my bow because I bought it at bass pro shop. So I’m literally on my own short of an almost 2 hour drive for 5 minutes of bow adjustment so thank you a ton.

This is an excellent tutorial. I love detail. You provided it. I will be building my own bow here soon. Never tied a D loop before. Wasn't aware of the common errors. Can't thank you enough. Great job!

Awesome video, I switched to a thumb release this year and the D loop tutorial made it even better. Keep the videos coming

This is extremely helpful. No one has ever explained it this way before and why. I have watched so many video's on d loops and I could never remember which way to do it correctly. This explains it so clearly and will always help me remember which way to tie it in. Thank you. Keep up the great content.

I just followed your instructions how to setup the loop for left hand and it worked like charm. I wish you were making some bow shooting classes. It will be really useful and fun.

Awesome video! I refer to this video A LOT to double check my work and, when I work on other bows to make sure things are perfect for friends and family. Again, thank you for the time you spend helping out the archer community! If you'll haven't tried the Bowmar Nose Button or the Bowmar Grip Wrap --- totally worth the money! Thanks again, Josh!

Absolutely love these!

Lately I see a new Josh.. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Josh, I bought the Easton D-loop pliers @ the beginning of the year cuz of this video. This weekend I brought home a new bow I dropped off @ the bowshop the 1st week of February. They never touched it & I know the draw length is a hair short. I bought this bow so I could have a backup bow ready to go in August. I'm ordering the Spectra D-loop material tonight since I bought 2 other BCY products back when I ordered the pliers but I didn't order the D23 loop material. I remembered that I watched this video last winter & liked it cuz I shoot the same release as u & I wanted a longer d loop for forgiveness & it helps that I can go 1" since a standard loop doesn't allow me to hit a perfect anchor point cuz I'm an in betweener. The pliers look like the right tool for a longer loop but the material I have here doesn't meet my high standards. Wish more people would watch this. U r the only video I could find where the person isn't standing on 1 side of the press which makes it frustrating when they tie the knots with 1 hand in the way. I actually tied in my nock points but I want to do the process once right than shoot this bow for the 1st time. Half measures only end up with half ass results & we owe it to the animals we hunt to be dead nuts on.

Great video. Looks correctly done. I’ve tied a few like to do things myself if I can. But I’m always learning.

Thank you. I thought I had tied my D loop in correctly till I found the buttons on the same side. And, I now have the buttons correct to the riser so I have the correct twist even though I'm an index finger shooter.

I am Loving my Bowmar nose button. Thanks for producing these, instantly saw an increase in my accuracy as it helps me find that perfect P.O.R (point of reference) every single time.

Is that what is right below his peep. I thought it looked liked a bunch of balled up serving line all tied up.

Some really good tips. I usually have serving above and below the nock, but will try just serving underneath the nock in future...

I got the nose button awhile back and noticed improvement. Before that, I had the string on the side/tip of my big beak😂. With that being said, I’ve been having trouble getting consistency in the feel of pull on my Silverback tension release. I watched this video today and while my loop was tied correctly by the shop when they put on my new strings, they had it at 1/2 inch. I re-tied a new one per your instruction. This time at 3/4 inch and I’m shooting incredibly better. My best guess is that the shorter 1/2 loop was squeezing the caliper and causing it to fire unreliably as far as the tension I had to impart to actuate it. I can’t thank you enough for this small but very positively impacting tip. Between the nose button and the d-loop tip, you helped me a lot . You rock!

Just switched to a thumb release and this helped me greatly. I was papertuning and was noticing funky tears watched this grabbed some bcy 23 tied 3/4” to 1” d loop and back to bullet holes. Thanks for this.

Awesomeness, thanks! Very clear and precise and understandable, I’ve seen issues watching others tutorial videos, and either they did it wrong or the camera had the mirror affect and showed it backwards, so after scouring around through many and that’s the best and clearest way I’ve seen! Top notch! Send em…!🙏🏹💪✊💥

Thank you for doing this, not everyone knows this. I was taught wrong by a big name in the industry and I had now idea. I was finally taught the right way by an old timer at the club and it’s the only way that makes sense. We need you to do more of these style videos cause there is a lot of people out there blind following their favorite personality and doing whatever he says and it’s half wrong. Thanks again.

Great video Josh! Totally worth it.

Your info is spot on. I had my loop tied backwards and the loop would always sit crooked and mess my peep up. Now that I have it correct everything is spot on. The 23 is vastly superior! Especially when running a hinge or thumb. I precut and burn a length of 4.5" and it gives me a perfect length of around .75-1" final loop length.

This has been a super helpful video. I started out shooting my bow setup at 29" draw and learned later that I am actually a 28.5" draw. My bow wont do half inch so its now set to 28" and it feels strange cause Im now anchoring in a different spot. Ive been wonder if I could do a longer D loop to help get me back to a slightly further back anchor point.

I had to pull out my release and look. You state that you tie the D- loop this way to avoid torque on the string, but then as you come to anchor the D loop puts CCW torque on the string. If you tie it the opposite way, as you draw back there is some slight CW torque on the string, but as you come to anchor the loop returns to it's neutral position and negligible torque while be applied to the string.

I thought I was going crazy. He’s completely correct with the tying the knots opposite sides because of torque but he’s doing it backwards. He’s lining it up with the release, it’s supposed to be opposite angle of the release so the jaws or hook goes through it without twisting. He made a 25 minute video calling out the pros showing everyone the wrong way but in fact that’s what he’s doing. FOR EVERYONE WATCHING THIS! THIS IS INCORRECT AND COMPLETELY BACKWARDS!

This is the best and most detailed video I have ever seen on tying in a D-Loop! Thanks for the help Josh!

Thank you...Checked both my bows and turns out out my back up bow had a backwards d-loop. Great video, great advice.

It is actually his loop that is backwards.. the melted top button should be facing you and the bottom away from you.. So he explained right but did the opposite of what he described… kinda dumb actually..

Was curious because I am going to switch from an index release to a hand held. Do you change your draw lenght to accommodate the longer dloop or leave it the same

Great to hear!

BCY 23 spectra is a staple for my bows. The only thing to caution people on is using jaw style releases since the d loop is slightly thinner... but its a superior material to the standard 24 most people use. The 23 spectra is way more durable indeed. Harder to burn the ends well but you get used to it over time. It also has more "slip" to it making a nice crisp and super repeatable release... The 24 d loop is fine too, but if you are trying to get the absolute most out of your bow then its worth a try. If your bow is not already tuned to the absolute highest degree then it should not be a concern until you have everything else dialed.

You are an inspiration I appreciate the video

Josh! I checked my D-loop. O-Man! The button on top pointing left and the button on bottom pointing right. Im a right hand draw. The Bow shop agrees this is wrong. Also below about the .021 on bottom and .014 on top with a little slop/room for nock👍. I concur your method! So my loop serving was non existant, D-Loop installed wrong from a shop that I dropped 2k in for a DoubleXL Hoyt on. Thanks for the education. Good work!

Absolutely true, as far as keeping unwanted torque out of the apex of drawn string. Very good video for newer archers although you forgot to mention which side of the nocking point top or bottom you were trying to describe which side the loop over should be for a right handed archer....more experienced archers will be able to see your peepsight(top) to the left but it was not deliberately stated prior to explaining which side the mushroom should be on. Otherwise great video for beginners

@@keld6539 Fyi; the part of the knot that encases the other wraps of rope and therefore squezez tension on other wraps is called a "bight"(bite). that being said if you are right handed, the top knot of d-loop will have the "bight" on left of bow string if your looking at it right side up and from bow string to riser(like your firing an arrow). Then the bottom knot of d-loop will have "bight" on right side of bow string. Also keep mushroomed ends as far away from nocking point.
