Could you help us a little with the knot?

Morning Killie,
John's right, that is a link to the thread, Ryan showed a way to tie an adjustable knock for tuning. A lot easier than the crap I was doing.  Joe

I actually shouldn't have said "made" with the quiver.  All i really did was take some left over vinyls and skin it with a design I liked.  Its a regular Thunderhorn Boa with the black plastic hood.  Joe
