Loop and nock question

[MikeC]

I just bought a new bow and have been away from the sport for 10 years or so. I never used one of those string loops to atach the release to before now. Back when I used to shoot before,
I used to put the arrow on the string under the nock then had a rubber ring under that and attached the release to the string under the rubber ring.

The proshop that I bought the bow from setup the loop such that you put the arrow on top of the brass nock. One end of the loop goes under the brass nock and the other end of the
loop is attached above with a gap for the arrow nock.

Is this the way it is supposed to be setup? I double checked with the proshop and was told that is the proper way to attach a loop. It shoots fine that way, it just looks different than what I
had been used to. As I said, I never used a loop before.

I was interested in how others have their string loops set up.

I would not have thought you even need the brass nock. I have been shooting my bow with a string release loop for several years now and just have the loop and it has never moved. I think the brass nock would be redundant, the arrow nock should just fit snugly between the loop's ends tied to the bowstring.

I would have to agree with m66.  What you described otherwise sounds fine.  Hopefully, they took into account the added draw length of the loop when sizing the bow to you.  If not you may want to shorten your draw about a 1/2 inch.

The nocking point is useless. It only adds weight to the string and may even cause wear on the serving. And if you ever need to adjust the nock point you gotta remove the nocking point (without cutting the serving ). I have used a loop on three different bows now and consider it to be one of the best innovations ever. I hated those damn little brass cutters.

Thanks for the information. I will remove it and move the bottom of the loop up a bit.
