with the string loop we just want to make sure we are not going to get it too close
to that arrow we just want to make sure we get each of these knots going a different
way so what we do is we got one layer over this string and I am starting the nocking
point of the arrow sits right in there and I am probably three sixteenths to a quarter
inch above that to make sure I am not going to pinch that arrow so what I do is take it
under there take it over the string try to show you here and then back down and under
and through so what you do is end up getting a knot that looks like that so what you want
to do is you want to take your pliers and pull both of those ends tight what i do is
I always start with my tag end first and I start with my tag end and I really snug that
thing out as hard as I can pull it there you can even take a couple twist on your pliers
really get that knot nice and tight so what I do is take this a quarter inch and now i
am going to go ahead and cut it off so once it is cut off what we want to do is we want
to burn a knob into this so this knot won't pull through the best way to get this knot
to tie like that is to cut it at a extra quarter inch off and what i want to do is I want to
unravel all of this stuff because it burns better when it is unraveled it will make a
bigger ball on the end of it so what i am doing is just kind of unraveling all of this
stuff here and then I am going to take it again to the side of your bow and ill do it
towards you so you can see it and we are just going to put the flame to this and we are
just going to get it to boil a little bit you don't want to catch it on fire the deal
is you just want to keep it out of the fire and you want to get a nice big ball on there
nice and heated up you let it dry for two to three seconds and then i'll go ahead and
give it a press on there and the end of your knot should look like that when you get done
a nice ball on the end of it so now what we will do is we got that burnt in there now
we are going to take this other side and we are going to start pull this and what it is
going to do is it is going to start to pull on to that burnt knot as it pulls itself tight
it should get all the way to the knot should look kind of like that when you get done what
we want on this is we want opposing knots so it pulls right through the string i like
to set these pretty short everybody is a little bit different in how they do it the longer
your string loop the longer the draw the shorter your string loop the shorter your draw i like
to have it just about where I can get my release on it so i tie them pretty short and these
things are going to stretch a little bit too you will probably get quarter inch of stretch
out of this thing when it is done so i always tie them a little bit tighter then they have
to be so now we are going go to this side of the string last time we went on this side
of the string we are going to come here come underneath now you can see this knot is going
to go the opposite way here so you can see this knot forming let me show
you here so the loops on this side of this knot and the loops on this side on this knot
this just ensures that we are pulling them straight back on out arrow everytime so we
are going to do the same thing here i am going to snug this up on the top on the bottom side
of the bottom stop there i am going to snug this knot up there and now it is kind of a
matter of gagging yourself off you want you might want that one just a touch longer so
you can go ahead there is still time you can still feed a little bit more line through
it here get it right where you want it that is looking pretty good there i am going to
snug that up okay and again take about a quarter inch on that thing you are going to take it
and slice it off and then go ahead and unravel it there and hold everything out of the way
and take it to the side want to burn that knot into it some heat it will start to melt
two three seconds let it set go ahead and press it firm get a nice knot out of that
so now we got our knot set we go our two burnt ends so now we are going to pull this thing
nice and tight we are going to get a little bit of stretch out of it i will go ahead and
click my release pull both top and bottom and just snug that baby up you can see you
start to get a nice string loop there we are still going to still get a little bit of slip
shooting it but that is the perfect length for me on my string loop
