I'm going to be going to a 3d shoot soon and while shooting last night I noticed that my loop was getting to be in bad shape. I no I may sound stupid asking this question but can a pro shop take the old one off and put a new one on? I just don't want it to break during my shoot.
I hope you're kidding... My real concern is how your loop could be in that bad of shape on a basically brand new bow? I've shot thousands of times on bows for 2-3 seasons without any fraying. I'd take a look at your release, it may have a burr in the hook.
My grand daddy told me once. " The only stupid question there is. Is one that is not asked." With that said. Of course, any good pro shop will be able to help you out with that, for a small fee. But if your a DYI'er You tube can help you out as well. You just have to go buy the d loop material. I personally tie my own D loops. you'll actually be amazed at how simple the knot is. Hope this helps you out, and good luck with your shoot coming up.
I really hope you're kidding as well. How long did you shoot with it like that? 1) definitely replace that. 2) get a new release. That release is abrading your d loop. This is the loop on my target rig. Has easily over 2000 shots in it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Good question if you've never changed one or tied one yourself. I would have that d-loop changed out before you shoot that bow again. As the others above have stated, you can do it yourself. My suggestion would be to have an archery shop do it for you this time and ask if you can watch. If the shop isn't too busy they will probably do it for you right then and there. Also, check that release for any abrasive surfaces as that loop is very, very frayed!!
This is one benefit of using tied nock points inside your d-loop. Makes changing the loop easy and quick and getting it back in the same spot (you still need to shoot it to ensure no changes but it's nice having that reference). Having said that I don't use tied nock points very often, but I have a mini bow shop in my house and like working on my bows LOL.
You are lucky it hasn't broken already! What release are you using? You need a new one! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I also second the tied nock sets. I started doing this as of late and wouldn't have it any other way. I tie a set above and below the arrow. I also feel as if it gives me a consistent nocking point as well.
I always tie in a nocking point. Love doing this (see picture above). A lot more consistent and easier to change d loops. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
