    My brain isn't working it seems. I blame working everyday since April 27. I guess it is better than looking for work since April 27. I shoot right hand. Which way does the top of loop come off the string, left or right side of string? A Google search showed me lots of pics but nothing I trust. I just noticed I put mine on both on the left in June.

    Ok I'm right handed so when I look at the loop from the left side of the bow, the top knot should be coming out to the left and the bottom to the right. At least that's the way I learned it.
    I'm not sure it really matters that much, but "they" say it helps reduce torque or something.

    It really doesn't matter provided that the top and bottom are reversed so the pull against each other.
