Watched a bunch of D loop videos. Everyone was doing what you showed with their own take on the process. Why your video is a stand out is the filming.. Your close ups showed the process unhindered by your hands. The other videos obscured important portions of the D loop construction due to incomplete details due to large hands in the wrong frame. Great video!!!
Great video was able to do this on my own on my very first try having never owned a bow. The quality of instructions and the pace of the video are spot on. Thank you so much!
hey 1st off i just want to say your videos are great very clear and informative. I am new to the whole archery thing and was looking to buy a compound bow and would like to ask for your recommendation as i have been searching on online for information before buying anything would love to hear a few recommendation as some items may be difficult to get a hold of in the UK
@@sur3real685 I was watching this and thinking that it would make a nice nock point without having to crimp brass onto your string. You don't Have to use a release with it
P.J. I'm confused to the point of determining the size of loop? Is there a standard size to look for? Where does draw length come into play? Thanks P.J.....Mike
There is not a standard size. You make it to the length that suits your anchor, and that's where draw length comes in. That's obviously part of the equation. But if you go to a tournament, you will see D loops of all lengths. There is no standardization because it's all customization
I know these guys are sharp but this is not the best way to tie a dloop. It relies strictly on the melted end, and I know some will say if it's melted correctly it will be fine but that's not true at some point you will have one break. Use the clove hitch it is very similar and does not rely strictly on the melted end and will not slip.
I wish somebody on the world wide web would inform folks of the best way to tie a d-loop. It's not what you see here and everywhere else. The best way is using a clove hitch, which is similar but not the same. The clove hitch cinches on the cord itself, and the quality of the meltedball has little to do with it. Unlike what you everwhere on the internet, which is basically two half hitches, which slip, and rely heavily on the meltedball. If you shoot enough, you will eventually wind up hitting yourseld in the face when the ball breaks off. I have been shooting my current d-loop for 3 years now.Clove hitch, the best way, only very few bow shops know.
I agree, and I am happy I found this comment of yours. I am confused and concerned about people using two half hitches for the þ-loop: it's not a secure knot, and it may be dangerous to use. The clove hitch should be the standard.
This video is incomplete, you dont tell me what to do with the old Dloop, i just tied this thing here thinking ud move it down and its does not move. Great tips up until this point. Now i havw 2 d loops
Your how to vids are and always have been the best on the internet , no bs , no useless chatter , just direction

Very easy to follow and simple. Def a standout D-Loop vid! Thanks PJ

Is their a particular way you need to rotate your knots say if your right handed or left handed
Great video and spot on what I needed to know on making a D loop for my bow. Thank you
Super quick and easy on the d loop installation part, thanks!
The best easy way😊
Thanks for the great video, very informative!
Very nice, you showed the other side of the D-loop.
I like leaving comments on videos that help me, thanks mate

Nice, great presentation thanks. No one talks about the material used.
Great presentation. Great instruction. Does this work for left handed bows? Is there anything I need to know before I try this?
Thanks. Great instruction.
What length should the d loop be before installing?
Which D loop pliers are you using please?
What do you think about metal D-loops? Are they worthy or are useless? Do they damage the string?
Thank you for your time
I read some reviews on Amazon, it looks like for some that it can cut the string.
Is it just normal 550 paracord?
Are D loops used on traditional bows and / or takedown recurve bows?
Nope usually you use your fingers

whats your take on a metal type d-loop ? is it better or worst ?
They can be rough on release aids......
@@LancasterArcherySupply string it is then ,thank you my brother !!!

What brand of bow is that
Hoyt
hoyt ignite
Are the dloop pliers a necessity? Can I just use the needle nose and expand it? @lancasterarcherysupply
That's what I do, seems to work ok
Even better if you have some circlip pliers that are the opening type.
Not for me, I just use a regular set of needle nose pliers. Then, one of those "no-fire" release to further snug it up.
of course they work just fine...same as paracord. He's selling products.

i heard also ,using the 3 or 350# paracord works well too ,any comment ?
No please stick with bcy archery d loop material
@@douglasshyko7977 lol...I've had the same piece of paracord on my bow for 10 years. still good as new after thousands of shots.

Dodd Vinson how do u do that
Clove hitch is an awesome knot. I use it for just about everything I tie up.
You are correct, this subpar dloop is all over the internet, I guess some people don't mind hitting themselves. in the nose
Can I just use paracord for this instead of using the kind of cord you used?
Brian Smith No.....its too thick
Lancaster Archery Supply ok thanks good to know
Your arrow is in the wrong position
This video is incomplete, you dont tell me what to do with the old Dloop, i just tied this thing here thinking ud move it down and its does not move. Great tips up until this point. Now i havw 2 d loops
Are you thick.
You're kidding, right? Of course, if you have an old d-loop on the string, you have to remove it.
Lol. If I'm reading this correctly, you had Double-D's... Loops that is.
You lost me when you didn’t put serving on the inside of the loop.
The serving is already there on the bowstring
