nocking point/d loop location

[john m]

With my Ultra tec the prefered arrangement is nocking point under the arrow with the D loop passing under the nocking point to the top of the arrow nock.This is supposed to put more down force on to the rest? Is there a prefered orientation for nock and D loop on the GTO? I am currently setting it the same as my Hoyt but with the arrow centre line closer to 90 degrees to the string. The bow is used exclusively for target archery 100 yards down to 30 metres.The rest is a Trophy Taker SS2.

I don't think bows or rests have much to do with it. The way you do it is the way I always do mine.

Since this topic has been brought up, what are the benefits of using a
1-D loop only
2-D loop with one nock pt
3-D loop with nock points above and below.

Most dealers tell me that they are concerned about nock pinch with nock pts above and below, but then other people tell me that is what the nock points are for, to eliminate pinch.

Does it really make much difference? My previous bow had custom string that had both nock points and a D loop, when I changed strings again (not great customs:censored2, the dealer put on just a D loop and I did not notice any difference. This was with field points only.
On my new Gt500 I have just a D loop, and if I do my part, it does the rest very consistently.

Curious what other opinions are.

I do mine with tied nock sets, 4 knots above and 8 knots below. It does help to create a little down force of the arrow on the rest. No pinch either.

perfect image for what I was looking for.
