Archery how to tie a d loop?

Question

Can someone tell me how do I tie the D loop across my cross bow?

Answer 1

To tie a D-loop follow these steps:

Step 1: Begin with a section of cord about 4 3/4 inches long.  I started with the bottom knot but it doesn't really matter.

Step 2: Pass the cord over the string, loop it around itself and back under the string.

Step 3:  Wrap the cord under the string and pass it back through the loop.

Step 4:  Repeat the process but this time begin underneath the string and proceed in the opposite direction.  The knots should face in opposite directions to help prevent the loop from twisting around the string.  I've also found it more comfortable to shoot if the bottom knot faces away from my cheek. The loop should be just a little smaller than the finished size; it will stretch when you tighten it down.
