D braid for me. Smaller and more flexible than what you are using.

D Braid is the best I have used. I have used 24, 23 and D braid.

 

I was leaning towards d braid as well. Seems more flexible to allow for twist

Hello
I don't use D loop as you know it. I bought mine from Dew Boy
I have tested his material for 2 months now .On one bow the D loop is now 2 months old.
Just great material. And yes I have BCY won't be looking back [ Later

 

Elaborate, please......:dontknow:

 

Gibbs super loop, slick and wears like iron.

 

Best loop material available.


REMEMBER the ALAMO!!!

 

I just switched to D-Braid. I got tired of my loop stretching with BCY 24.

Is the BCY D braid better than the Brownell Magnum material?

 

The D braid is a bit more pliable and the colors are more vibrant. The Brownell Magnum is still better than BCY 24 imo.

 

D-Braid.

 

So far after having tried Brownells LC, Bcy D braid and Bcy #24, I am liking Bcy #23 the best. It is a small diameter material
that doesn't stretch, wears like iron and has just the right amount of stiffness, but i would only recommend it for hook type
releases. if you use a caliper I would opt for something bigger like Bcy #24.

 

D-braid is small, ties nice tight knots, very flexible which I like. It will stretch allowing you to fine tune your dloop length and melts nicely. #23 is same size but does not stretch so you better get the length right the first time. I also do not like how it melts. It does not ball up nicely like D braid or #24. It melts like Halo.

 

^^^^^
I found the same problem with BCY 23. I could not get it to burn and ball up right. Any hints to get the better and a little bigger ball?

 

.......Any hints to get the better and a little bigger ball?

The key is to fray the end, and use just enough heat to get it to melt.

Not enough fray and/or too much heat = small useless ball.

 

I got some Flo orange from 60x on eBay and it melts perfectly. It's stiff though but is good for me. I don't like a limp loop, like it to be ready for the release to clamp onto it.

Ha! Imagine that..........

I used Gibbs which is pretty stiff, but really no issues and I keep some on hand for those who want camo (green or brown). I mainly use BCY 24 and no issues. If the d-loop is of proper length torque of d-loop does not effect the shot or accuracy. As for releases, I have single caliper and dual caliper index releases, hook type thumb and hinges and closed jaw thumb releases. I just don't have any problems. Heard complaints of the BCY 23 so I stayed with BCY 24.

 

D braid is my favorite followed by bcy 23 which is stronger but a little stiffer.

 

I use bcy 24

Bought 100ft of black d-loop material off amazon for $8. Works great. A little stiff but holds knots tight and burns good.

 

I've started using d braid. Smaller and tough as wire lol.

 

If you're wondering what the difference is between The BCY cord, I'm not an expert on their material, but according to the info I've seen, BCY #23 is 1.6mm cord that is "covered" wtih SPECTRA.

"Spectra fiber is one of the world's strongest and lightest fibers. A bright white polyethylene, it is, pound-for-pound, ten times stronger than steel, more durable than polyester and has a specific strength that is 40 percent greater than aramid fiber.

So I guess #23 would be the most durable if the above is true. BCY's Description of #23 states "Spectra covered, highly durable". I can't tell you exactly what Spectra "covered" means as far as how it is covered and how much spectra is used.

Their D Braid is also 1.6mm braided Polyester.

Their #24 is 2.0mm braided Polyester, so it's a bit larger and stiffer than Their #23 or D Braid.

I believe their D Braid is pretty much the same as 1.6mm Mini-Blind Cord. I haven't tried the 1.6mm Mini-Blind cord, but the 1.8mm is just right for my taste.

 

Where are you guys getting the d braid?

 

Threadz has it

Thank you Dewboy for all the information. Do you have a recommended source on the mini-blind cord? You should start your own cottage business with the knowledge you have acquired on this topic and phase of archery.

 

D loop material. Following

 

Uh... Huh
