Sweet ;)


...Link seems to be broken.

Anybody got a bigger pic?

How does the mechanism work? Feed in a bit of d-loop material, press the arms and it d-loops a string?...

[Jason.P]

Different brand i think, but similar workings

I currently have some on order from Lancaster Archery in the USA. Should be here in a few days.....


Will do a review if anyone wants.

just had to have them...

I use Circlip Pliers to do essentially the same thing.

Only problem was you dinted your serving near the nock.

These have a broader base so should work well.

Save me a pair Shermo !

I have used them and they work great. Lot better then the needle nose pliers that I have been using to get the d loop tight.

[Eberbachl]

So, forgive me....but what's the point?

Is it really that hard to tie a D-loop...or do these do something really cool?

[New Tricks]

Tip:

Tie loop. Put release aid on it. Hold string with other hand. Pull as hard as you can. Use $30 to buy beer.

They don't tie the loop.. They tighten the knots evenly without twisting the string.

hmmm....OK

I'll reserve my judgement until I've seen one ;)

Personally, I think tieing a D-Loop and tightening the knots is pretty simple, but hey - I accept these might do a better job. I look forward to checking them out.

Of course...they might just be a piece of crap, and I might just keep using my own secret proprietary method :D

When I use the Circlip pliers I can get the loop so tight on the string that I've actually snapped the loop material.

The benefit is that I measure my draw to the nth degree, and getting my loop spot on WITHOUT further stretching is critical. I used to do it the NT's way but found the loop continued to stretch for some time after.

So these should be quite handy.

[Progen]

You sure that didn't happen because you nicked the material during all that pulling? ;)

[2Dogs]

Nope..... just brute Dog Strength ;)

[Progen]

So OldDog must have broken quite a lot of loops too then.

[Progen]

Or you tied a lousy knot!!! :D :D :D

You know what they say about poorly tied knots compromising the breaking strain of the material, yeah?

[2Dogs]

No it didn't snap at the Knot..Knob!;)

[Progen]

No it didn't snap at the Knot..Knob!;)

Then something's even MORE wrong because there are only a few knots known to man which will NOT reduce the breaking strain of a piece of string and none of them are applicable to archery. :D (That's according to a fishing knots guide)

So you must have nicked the center during the pulling!!! :cool:

C'mon, all out with it. I know, Mr Dog. :cool: :cool: :cool:

[Eberbachl]

I guess they sound cool.

They should prevent a few face punches by people who don't tighten their loops properly before they draw their bow ;)

Isn't that why you perverts picked up compound archery in the first place?

[Eberbachl]

Only time I ever punched myself in the face was when my release rope broke one day ;)

My own stupid fault for not keeping a better eye on it's condition.

;)

Crap it hurt! :rofl:

Silence!...or your Rep will be so green and high, your nose will bleed! :)
