[QUOTE="Chyhunting, post: 857073, member: 62236"] Just a bit of advice: The regular string loops you get for compounds will work but they stretch so the trick is to pre stretch it. They come in around 4 inch sections. Tie the very ends of the section to the string as you normally would. This will leave you with a really long Loop. Now attach the slide and cock the bow. Let it back down and cock it again 3 or 4 times. Then if you have time, cock it and let it sit. Obviously ,the longer it sits the better as you are trying to remove any stretch from the loop.After this process , remove one side of the loop and wax the loop. The wax will allow you to pull your knots tighter and gives less initial stretch from the knot tightening the first time you cock it. Now tie your loose end to make the proper size loop, making sure to tie it a little bit shorter than it should be. the tightening of your new knot and the initial wear and tear will stretch the loop to the proper length...... It sounds like a lot of trouble but it's really not that much. [/QUOTE]
