Re: kaya Khan bow
bjarup what do you mean by string loop? On a thumb draw it makes contact with the string just like with a tab.

Like almost all Compound Bow archers, i use a String Loop on the string for use with a mechanical release.
In other words, I shoot my Recurve the same way the compound boys shoot their compound bows. Works great.
A string loop is a small piece of string tied to the bow string with two knots forming a loop for attaching a mechanical relase. Just watch the Compound boys on u-tube and You'll see what i mean.

Excellent.
Exactly what I Want. Now why didn't I think of that myself. 
Now I'm sure that ordering the Khan right handed was the right decision.
Re: kaya Khan bow
Interesting method.
Would you have to worry about the ring/thumb getting caught in the loop?
Re: kaya Khan bow
The D loop would slow down the bow a bit by a few fps. But the trade off may be worthwhile if you like the thumb draw 
.

Probably depends on the size of the loop. Shouldent be too tight, me thinks.
