Mine has been on for over a year and still looks good. I have a 100 foot roll of the stuff, just doesn't look like it needs changing.

The answer is: It Depends

What is the lifespan of a D-loop?

It really depends on the kind of d-loop material you use and what kind of release you use. It also depends on how much shooting you do. I'd say my average d-loop lifespan is somewhere around 6 months to 1 year. Sometimes I change it out "just because" too... :embara: :wink:

Catfish Loop

I have never shot one long enough to find out. However, if you want to spend a little extra time and install a catfish loop, they are supposed to last just about as long as your center servering.

I know... and I care too! I want my set-up to be reliable and in as good of condition as possible.

It depends on how often you shoot. They do wear out eventually. Buy some bulk material and cut to length and keep it on hand. Replace as often as needed for your set-up.

Depends on the bow. I get 5,000 shots easily on my target bow, 3,500 on my less radical hunting bows, and got only 2,000 on my Bowtech Pro40 Dually.

Keep an eye on them and toss them when they start to look ratty. It's better than punching yourself in the jaw!

I'm using BCY. I think it will last the life of the string. I've got some Brownells too. It's a little bigger in diameter and will probably outlast the string. Most of the good quality stuff lasts a long time. I like the BCY since it's smaller diameter puts less of a footprint on my string. The Brownell material is a little more durable at the expense of additional thickness. Either material will provide excellent service.

Ask your dealer and he will give you some of the worn out strings or cables that he has replaced. Find a section with no wear and use it to tie a catfish loop. Will last the life of your string.

I change mine when the threads start to seperate or tear.

I agree. When I was shooting a hook-type release, I wore the loop out within six months or sooner (based on shooting every day). Since switching to a dual caliper release, my current loop doesn't even show any wear after about four months. Like others mentioned, I replace mine when it starts to get frayed.
