RE: experts help
Hey, glad I can help. Another question that you might have is about where to tie in a nock point(s) with respect to the loop knots and arrow nock. I've done a bunch of research on this. There are many different ways that work well, but the one that is most widelt accepted is as follows (from top to bottom on the string as you hold your bow in a shooting position):
1) Top Loop Knot
2) Arrow Nock
3) Very small space to prevent arrow nock pinch
4) Tie-In Nock Point
5) Bottom Loop Knot
The nock point (#4) acts both as a spacer and as insurance in preventing the loop knots from slipping. This assembly puts your release in line with your arrow when you draw and keeps the portion of the string that accepts the arrow-nock perpendicular to the arrow itself when at full draw. I hope that makes some sense. It will likely make more sense once you tie it all on. It's worked well for me so far. It's certainly not the only way, but it seems to be a good, workable method.
