You posting that pictoral tutorial here on this thread demonstrates once again why XXX archery has the reputation you do.  It's why I bought my last bow from you guys.  You are a true credit to the archery industry and one more reason why we should all support pro shops (mainly yours) as opposed to buying from the big box stores.  Good on ya.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

Great tutorial, thanks. Do you tie the knots in different directions for left and right handers? If so why?

no, but the knots, top and bottom need to be on  opposites side of each other..That stops the the D-loop from spinning around the string.

A great thread.  Thanks for posting the tutorial.  I have been tying my own d-loops for awhile now but I never thought to wax them first.  I will give it a try.

 :yeah: maybe 1 in 1000 might from people not using the right strength cord or not knowing how to tie them right.

I missed this thread.  Great tutorial.  I have been tying my nocks like that for a couple years after seeing it on Archery Talk.
