OK I think I see what you are saying. I did it again, is this sequence right?

Looks good! But just for reference, if the top of the picture is towards the top of the bow, and you are a right handed shooter, you will want to have the knots the other way around. You want the top of the D-loop to come off on the side of the string that the shelf of the bow is on coolsmiley.gif (In other words, if your pictures are oriented the way I described it is perfect for a left handed shooter)

let me try again, I am going to replace the pictures at the top, Thunderchicken am I right now?
LSmountainman
OK I replaced the pictures in the first post, now is this right? Here are a couple shots of the completed loop. Man, sorry for the confusion, guess I am not as smart as I think sometimes...

Looks perfect now for the right handed shooter! Good job bud! cheers.gif

In all actuality, you can tie it either way, but the way I described it puts less stress on the string (dloop causes less torque) especially if you use a thumb style release

Thanks for the help, I hope these pictures can help someone else. 59.gif

OK now I am a bit confused, this picture I have here is what I came up with last night, if you look at the black mark on the string that signifies the peep sight, isn't this the correct position for a right-handed shooter? or should the bottom knot be the top?

Here's one of mine with string nocks tied in, peep would be to the right on the string. Right handed shooter.

Here is what I came up with:


And here is how it paper tuned, all 4 shots were great but this one I am most proud of:


for whatever reason, my peep is a bit twisted to the left at rest, when I pull back it is off, so I have adjusted my loop to the left, when I pull back it is perfect. I wish everything was perfectly straight but I guess I can deal with that...I have all year. I am using a winner's choice so I think the best thing to do would be to turn the string a bit but why mess with it if it's working...

That looks like a winner Lance. You should notice no nock pinch at all with those sweet nock sets coolsmiley.gif

Do you think the lower nock set is too long? I wonder if I should shorten it up but still keep the same amount of knots.
