Thank you so much. Your videos have allowed me to learn to setup and tune my bow on my own, can’t stress enough what a treasure you are to the bow community. I’m setting up my 6 years olds Bear Pathfinder now and cannot wait to get him shooting today. Saw this newer video and thought I’d give it a look. Thanks Dud!
it is too bad the folks at the archery shops don't watch these videos, they are tech being paid to do this for a living adnf they can't get it right most of the time or at my shop anyhow, I had to cut mine off and re -do it new from the shop, because they messed it up. Thanks for sharing my freind and I Hope you have a blessed week. Dale
learned watching you every time I have to take my bow to shop to get strings put on I get it back I've got to tie on my nock sets and D-loop because they tied it wrong
This was a super easy video to learn how to do it. Sometimes people precut and burn the d loop first, but trimming and burning after tying was so much easier.
how would u tie a d loop for a left handed shooter which i am? would it be tied the same as right handed shooter? i think that’s part of why my arrows might be drifting a lot. thanks for the awesome videos really helpful
Each of your D-loops was a different length and without serving knots the D-loop will pinch the nock more and more over time. After marking the nock position on the string with a silver Sharpie I serve set above and below with slight play. I like to cut the D-loop to precisely 4-1/2", flare each end, melt the end and press against a flat metal surface to increase mushroom flare, and repeat on the other end. The mushroom flare is what keeps this knot from pulling out. If you let the end catch fire it will shorten the loop material less controllably and possibly make it too brittle. Cutting and melting after the tie makes D-loop length unpredictable and unnecessarily exposes the bowstring and D-loop knots to heat damage.
John besides the D-loop, the question arises, how big of a loop? Also, how do you test and adjust a D-loop to make sure your draw length is not affected???? Thanks
I prefer 1/2"- 5/8" . Your draw length will stay the same but your anchor point will move. Ideally you'll want to keep it as short as you can without it influencing the string. String angle or axle to axle length can also be a factor, so I tend to make the shorter bows a little longer on the dloop.
Love all of your videos, but when are you gonna make a video of you just dropping bombs. Stop being humble Dudley show off your skills! We all wanna see it.

Your early D-loop video was how I found you. Used it ever since.
My bow guy got it wrong but thanks to you I fixed it. Thank you.
Thank you so much this video is very instructional for me and made it easy for me.....I appreciate you
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Sir and what I should be practicing to help me be a better archer ❤
I tie soft knocks at the bottom then put my D loop on. So I do not have knock pich. Great video
Thanks John!!!!!
Thanks
Great video, so many archers cannot tie their own loops, this will help greatly.
how would u tie a d loop for a left handed shooter which i am? would it be tied the same as right handed shooter? i think that’s part of why my arrows might be drifting a lot. thanks for the awesome videos really helpful
It would have the loop on the right side of the string at the top and left side on the bottom
Hi John! I use a handheld, how long of a d loop is appropriate?
All hail are Lord and savior… John Dudley. Ty Sir.
One of the hardest things in life for me is remembering knots lol

7 5 3 5. I like your haiku 😃
I I've watched this so many times. My D loops still slip. Can anyone help me?

I bet he adds an x to especially or he says like instead of lack
Hey John how about tying in serving?
