Great instructional vid!! Always been a pleasure to watch videos from Elkshape with you, and glad you started to make your own! You should make step by step short videos on how to start seting up a new bow from unboxing to shooting... keep up your good work and wish I had a good shop close by!
The ElkShape video of this was super helpful for me. Once I stopped fighting a longer string and started out at 4 1/2 inches my D-loop was tied perfectly. Thanks MFJJ
I'd really like to see a video that thoroughly discusses finding your correct draw length when its not a half inch or an even full inch increment. Please include: how to readjust peep rotation, how many twists is too many in a bow string, any cable adjustments needed. Looking forward to seeing this one. Thanks for your channel.
Hi Josh, Your videos are the best!! As a beginner I learned how to tie the D-Loop, but I was never sure where to tie it on the string. Yours is the first video I have ever found on not just tying the D-Loop, but showing exactly where to tie it on the string!! Every step very well shown and explained. You are very much appreciated Josh! Thank You!!
Awesome video very detailed, makes so much sense. Wish my shop had done this when they set up my bow, I guess now I get to practice tying string loops🙃
Great video! I’d love to see an in-depth overview on you process for tuning you bow to your broadheads as well as your process for building an Elk arrow start to finish. Thanks again for the great content.
Thanks guy! I just purchased and received my new veracity 35 and I'm on my way to setting it up. Some of my install skills are rusty. All in all I like setting it up myself.
Great tutorial. My new string set will be arriving today and I'll be doing this soon. Purchased an easy green from you last year. I'll be building a draw board tonight.
Great info as always MFJJ - an idea for a future video would be a tutorial on how you make custom strings as well as any benefits over other “custom” strings
man, when I first started doing my own work, it took me literally 5 mins to tie my first loop, and that's after looking at vids and pics for 30 mins lol, and I STILL had to go back haflway through lol. Now it's about 3 mins tops including precutting the the length of d loop material (and 4 1/2" is my pre cut length, makes the loops about 5/8" long...perfect!
Love your videos on here and elk shape. Even purchased some mods and strings from you because of it . You asked for ideas in videos ... I’d like to see two of same bow tested one in 70 lbs and one in 60 lbs with a 350 grain and 450 grain arrows . Unfortunately as I’ve reached my upper 40’s my ego says 70 but my shoulder says 60.
Could you do some videos on setting up single pin sights? How to do the tapes, how far out or how close to run the sight, anything else that would be good for people switching from a fixed pin to a adjustable sight?
Hey Josh, thank you for all the great content you have been putting out lately. When tying a D-loop does it matter which side the ball is on (beyond them being on opposing sides)? As in, if I am shooting a left handed bow does the ball on the top knot need to be facing the rest, riser, or does it not matter?
Could you do a video in the future regarding arrow builds? I would love to see you tune an arrow start to finish. Nock tune, paper tune, etc please! I love your videos!!
Mfjj idk if you ever thought of this. But when i tie my loops i use a snap ring plier to tighten at the end. I find it easier to tighten squeezing instead of pulling apart
Thanks boss!! What’s that jig you used? You and Dan inspired me to do my own stuff. I just didn’t know enough about it. I wish I had a bow shop around here in CT that had some your guys like yourselves.
Some tuning videos would be great. Im personally working on my bear ls-6. Love the bow. But its definitely finicky. Currently ive gone through three rests from a biscuit and an apex containment rest. Finally to a fall away and i keep rubbing fletching.
great video, thanks for all your videos and for making dan a better shooter (he needs the help) hahahaha. i would like to see what your shooting for a bow this year, your arrow set up and all the goodies. oh and we all are waiting to see you actually shoot!!! thanks
Thank you for the videos that you do and the discussions that you have about the product that you’re working on I would like to get some help in buying a grip for my Matthews V3 X 29 what would you recommend for a grip
Josh, the nylon you use is it Bcy nock/peep .021 stuff or something different.I’ve been using Bcy 3D in .016 but don’t like the way it melts down. Love the build and setup vids ..
how to Mathew Top Hat tuning , keeping 13/16 for center shoot and still getting bullet holes. If you could give a good guide on this process that would be greatly appreciated . I have learned so much when your on Elke shape channel doing bow builds , thanks again for sharing
Mfjj every time I go to your website it will not load don’t know if it’s on your end or mine just wanted to give you heads up Yet another great video thank you You and the Elk Shape guys rock
This may be a weird comment, but the color looks off, likes it has a brown filter or something. I enjoyed the video, is the knot a regular, left over right or does double and single mean something else?
I have a question? Is there a difference in D loop string material you use depending on the kind of release being used? For example in the video it states using 4 1/2” of D loop string, if you use a thumb release on that size of finished D loop do you find it torques the string at full draw when you rotate your thumb down at your anchor point?
Is there a correct way to tie it if your left handed or right-handed I'm left-handed and I was just wondering if you have to switch the knots because of the way I turn my release
The loop still shifts the nest to each other no matter how you tie it.I first tie a d-loop, then I make a serving inside it.This is a reliable way. I have 2 layers of serving inside the loop and the loop is tied on the first layer.
Heads up buddy, I’ve been trying to purchase a trufire synapse on your site and it won’t take my money. I tried 3 different cards. Not sure how much business you are missing out on.
can you guys provide the nylon and d loop material brand used in this video. I checked your website and did not see those products. Thanks for the great info!
So I've run into an issue with my bow and the trinity rest, the set screw for horizontal movement is right underneath my cable guard and I cannot get an allen wrench onto it for adjustments. Any suggestions?
What about knots opposite of what you just demonstrated for left handed shooters? what about a longer loop length for us hinge shooters, longer loops prevent torque as well, but not obnoxiously long, also let’s you position your hand placement a little better depending on what style release you are shooting as well. As far as burning loop ends you never want to catch them on fire, it weakens the ball. This will become brittle and break overtime, you want to put heat to it lightly and create your ball. 👍🏼🇺🇸
Personally I tie opposite of what he did in the video as a right handed shooter.. I shoot a hinge, so my loop part of the string comes out on the opposite side for a righty as that's the way my string twists at full draw. If you shoot a wrist release, not sure that it really matters.
Mfjj my D Loop keeps fraying so I have to replace it constantly I’ve tried to smooth out the edges on my wise choice release and it still does it any suggestions
Noticed you didn’t install peep first. Peep should always be first due to it changing the nocking point when you split the stings. Just a little tip. Not bashing 👊🏻
I’m new to compound archery and wonder why no one (at least on TH-cam) uses a “P” or “catfish” loop on their bows? It seems more reliable and, there is no “Fire” needed.
JJ I see alot of questions about top hats or shims you should let them know they make a bow called bowtech that does away with all that hahaha matthews pukes lol hahaha

Awesome video very detailed, makes so much sense. Wish my shop had done this when they set up my bow, I guess now I get to practice tying string loops🙃
Best and easiest explanation of how to do a D loop ever.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 for that I just became another subscriber.

Quickly becoming one of my favorite archery channels.

Great video!
How about a video addressing strings after they break in (peep rotation etc...)
Great tutorial. My new string set will be arriving today and I'll be doing this soon. Purchased an easy green from you last year. I'll be building a draw board tonight.
Hi Josh. This video is just BRILLIANT. Thank you
What’s up JJ. Thanks for this. Just got a new string I need to put on my old faithful Mathews Switchback XT. Thanks for this tip!

Finally someone using a pre-cut & melted ends d-loop. I find it easier and they always come out the same.

Love the tech tips
Thanks for great video..!! Would like to see a video on cam lean and how to know if cam lean is excessive or not!?thank again.

I like this way better! Good Video!
Thank you for the videos that you do and the discussions that you have about the product that you’re working on I would like to get some help in buying a grip for my Matthews V3 X 29 what would you recommend for a grip
Great video mate, thanks from Australia. Do you recommend setting the nock point high for single cams like some others?
Hey Josh- what arrow square were you using? I’m really enjoying your videos!
Awesome!!! Thank you.
Josh, the nylon you use is it Bcy nock/peep .021 stuff or something different.I’ve been using Bcy 3D in .016 but don’t like the way it melts down. Love the build and setup vids ..
Man I wish I had the time to visit and take lessons for you. MFJJ. 🍺.
Great video
Well you made that look easy, thanks
Thank you again, i did one more time with help of this video. Maybe next time i remember it without the video ;).
Great video!
Mathews top hat tuning would be nice
Holyshit! You crank down on that. I get worried im going to cause serving separation or break my string if I go to hard with the pliers
More tutorials please!! Thank you!
how to Mathew Top Hat tuning , keeping 13/16 for center shoot and still getting bullet holes. If you could give a good guide on this process that would be greatly appreciated . I have learned so much when your on Elke shape channel doing bow builds , thanks again for sharing
I’d like to know your opinion on torqueless String loops VS regular string loops and if one would be better than the other.
Video on how to tie in the peep sight would be great too. Thanks.
Mfjj every time I go to your website it will not load don’t know if it’s on your end or mine just wanted to give you heads up
Yet another great video thank you
You and the Elk Shape guys rock
Working fine on my end when I check. Thats super weird. Thanks for letting me know
This may be a weird comment, but the color looks off, likes it has a brown filter or something. I enjoyed the video, is the knot a regular, left over right or does double and single mean something else?
I would like to more about the Mathew be 27 as I just bought one. This is all very new to me, I have a pse bow madness. They tell me it's a better bow
Fell down the rabbit hole of tips and tricks. What’s your thoughts on the bowmedic bow press?
Good job.
A future video on center shot bow tuning of rest would be great
I came here to say the same thing!
Do you ever use a little super glue on the two small knots to keep it in place or from unraveling over time?
Just a thought, knowing the exact length for the loop would allow you to precut and burn some and have them on hand in case one breaks in the field.
THANK YOU AMAZING!
Thanks!

are you layering the knots, or tieing them over each other? Can't tell from the video
Do you cinch the D Loop down before putting in a peep?… If the peep and the D loop are not aligned, then what? Thanks!
Mfjj would really like to see you do a video on top hats and tuning
Agree
@@oldmanoutdoors6382 Agree from Germany
Would you guys do a video on vane and arrow setup for TAC or 3D?
Is there a correct way to tie it if your left handed or right-handed I'm left-handed and I was just wondering if you have to switch the knots because of the way I turn my release
Thanks JJ. Is it possible to sight your bow in at 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60, if you only have a twenty yard range?
Not to my knowledge. Archers advantage can give you a pin gap estimate but thats as close as your going to get as far as I know
Good instructional vid ! P.s. When or if you get the ez green vise back in stock , can you mention it in a video.
I will have 53 on Thursday according to the tracking
Awesome man. Thanks. Will be ordering one
Hey Josh. Checked the web page and still don't see the ez green vise. Was there a delay?

90* to string straight in line with Berger hole?
Heads up buddy, I’ve been trying to purchase a trufire synapse on your site and it won’t take my money. I tried 3 different cards. Not sure how much business you are missing out on.
I have some of those little brass sting nocks from my recurve days. Could you use those for your soft nocks?
Do you still tie your loop this way or have you found a better method of doing it?
can you guys provide the nylon and d loop material brand used in this video. I checked your website and did not see those products.
Thanks for the great info!
Probably BCY 24.
So I've run into an issue with my bow and the trinity rest, the set screw for horizontal movement is right underneath my cable guard and I cannot get an allen wrench onto it for adjustments. Any suggestions?
Angled Allen wrench heads? Or stubby easton individual Allen wrenches should get it done

Other materials I agree but bcy does not matter. It doesn't get weaker
@@joshjones6862 I usually run #23. Not trying to bash your video by any means. 🤘🏼
How much space do you recommend the soft knots have on either side of the knock?
Just leave about 1/16th of play when there is a nck on it...
What material do you use for the D loop
Good tutorial on tyin
How diferent was that from other " dloop video" ???
Is there a difference in the way you tie a d loop for a left handed shooter?
Do you put an emphasis on which way the top knot faces? Like towards face vs away? Or do you not think that it is as big of a deal as others?
Top knot bending towards your face
Personally I tie opposite of what he did in the video as a right handed shooter.. I shoot a hinge, so my loop part of the string comes out on the opposite side for a righty as that's the way my string twists at full draw. If you shoot a wrist release, not sure that it really matters.
What is #4 nylon? Is that .21?
I’m enjoying the video, but a white tshirt or other light background would make it easier to see.
Quick question: Are d loops tied the same on both right and left handed bows or they’re tied the opposite way?
Opposite
@@jhuntley575 thanks 👍🏻
Mfjj my D Loop keeps fraying so I have to replace it constantly I’ve tried to smooth out the edges on my wise choice release and it still does it any suggestions
If its not burrs on your release i would try making your loop a little longer and see if that helps
Arrow build using same spines, different lengths and different weights up front
Shop info please...
Noticed you didn’t install peep first. Peep should always be first due to it changing the nocking point when you split the stings. Just a little tip. Not bashing 👊🏻
I know im about 8 months late but anyone know what brand arrow square device that is
Please make another video and zoom in and use colored thread so we can see what is going on for us. Older folks.
What serving material are you using?
#4 nylon
@@joshjones6862 thank you, I love your content and appreciate all the shared knowledge!
Do you still don't this way MFJJ?
I’m new to compound archery and wonder why no one (at least on TH-cam) uses a “P” or “catfish” loop on their bows?
It seems more reliable and, there is no “Fire” needed.
This guy is showing exactly that and how to make a catfish and P loop th-cam.com/video/8gECMNuDApE/w-d-xo.html
always let ya balls cool down !
Good to see you have a channel. Better to get it straight from the horse mouth.
black on black does not show very well. also a material list would be nice.
