Hi guys, Josh Bowmar from Bowmar Archery here! Today I am going to be teaching you how to tie a constriction knot.
The constriction knot is the best and strongest knot in the world for archers. You can use this knot to tie in your peep, tie in your d-loop, use it for a bow cable repair, and you can even use it to tie in a Bowmar Archery Nose Button and many other ways! I recommend following along with my video on Bowmar Bowhunting’s YouTube channel.
Step 1:
Drape your serving or d-loop material over the string. You will want to keep tension on the bottom part of the string.
Step 2:
Next, take the serving and pass it over. If you refer to the image above, take the serving that is behind the string and pull it over. It should now look like this.
Step 3:
Keep wrapping the serving or d-loop material around the string. Be sure to keep tension on the string that is stable, otherwise it will unravel. It should now look like this. I wrapped it around the string four times during my video.
Step 4:
As you can see, the serving that I was holding as a wrap is under the coils.
Next, I loosen my coils, and send the serving back through like so.
You will finish with a knot that looks like this.
The reason this knot is so helpful is because the tighter you pull, the tighter the knot gets. In my video, I show you some of the uses for this knot. I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial!
