Should I be concerned about this?
It seems like something I should get fixed... I have a string loop, that is in between two brass nocking points... The arrow looks like it angles downward when at the top of the loop... of course, this looks to be irrelevant once i draw the bow... the distance between the two nocking points is 1.25"-- that seems like too much to me, but im not an expert...
also, if i put the arrow at the bottom of the loop it looks square, but again, when the bow is drawn it appears to slide into the middle. the bow is shooting fine, i am just concerned when i shoot broadheads it will be way off.... so people with loops, tell me roughly how far apart yours are...

Do you have a drop away rest? That would account for the down angle. I shoot a string loop with no trouble. The two nocking points, are you using them to keep the loop from sliding? I just have mine tied on.

Its a whisker biscuit...
the nocking points are outside the loop, however, i dont know if they are keeping the loop from sliding or if they are just to make sure the loop doesnt slide...

1.25" sounds too wide to me.
If you place the arrow nock on the bottom knot every time you will probably be o.k. - but I would either get a new loop put on or serve some string nocks above and bellow the loop nocks.

RE: Should I be concerned about this?
there are two brass nocks--
one above the top knot of the loop, maybe to prevent the loop from sliding (???) and one below the top knot for where i nock the arrow... then the bottom loop knot
that seems fine and it is a deer hunting bow so i guess i can handle to single digit drop in speed
thanks, but please respond SOMEONE and resassure me that this sounds good
i am a bit of a perfectionist, but i need one of you to tell me that sounds good so i stop worrying about it
i am insecure

If you tie the loop on braded serving it will be hard or impossible to rotate up & down the serving for tuning, you may need to change serving.
If you tie it tight enough with tools, it will not rotate a lot, or not at all, with each shot & if one must, you may try two clove hitches in opposite directions for balance. If it rotates a little you will need to true it, or it may rotate your peep sight (string) a little the next shot.
