Pending on who and how loop was installed, once a bow is tuned ...we use a loop pliers that pre stretches the pre stretched loop material [ true lol ] ...and it tightens the loop so it will not /cant move...it will most likely move the center serving with it if tried...

While the loop knots may be super tight...as they should be...most will loosen off carefully using an small pointed awl and/or needle nose pliers...
the loop then can be moved and shot...

snug loop to test than once desired nock height is found... tighten loop so movement will never be an issue...

If loop is damaged during removal or loosening do NOT continue shooting with that loop install a new one, one should always have a spare or spares and know proper way to install or tie.



Write down nock height for future referance...
