AMS Bowfishing: Tying line to the safety slide specifics
Sharing buttons:
you know with a kickoff for the 2015
season we're getting a lot of emails and
phone messages about people asking how
you tie the line to the AMS safety slide
so today I'm going to show you a couple
knots that I use when I'm tying these to
the slides so the first one I use when
I'm using a 200-pound Dacron line so
here you can see we've got our slide on
the one side we've got a groove on there
on the other side is flat so I'm going
to come up one leg and I'm going to
bring that line up and then back down
through on the other side you can see
how that line fits nice and snug in that
little groove right there so what I'm
going to do now is I'm going to pull
about six seven inches of line out so
I've got a double line there I'm going
to walk that all the way up to the point
and I'm going to make a loop right
around my finger with that line then I'm
going to pull that line off on my finger
so here you can see we've got that loop
now I'm going to pull that loop over top
of the point and I'm going to walk that
all the way back down to the back of the
arrow when we hit the shock pad I'm
going to walk that all over top the
slide over top the shock pad I'm going
to walk that knot to the behind the Nok
pull it tight and right there is how I
tie the 200-pound DAC round line to the
AMS safety slide alright so the next
night I'm going to show you here I've
got 350 pound fast flight line and what
I'm going to do is I'm just going to
double up the line I'm going to make a
loop around my finger and I'm going to
open that loop up on my finger and take
the end of that line come back through
that loop pull it nice and tight so now
you can see I've got a big loop here
doubled up line got my safety slide
right here on the bottom side of that
leg that hole I'm going to come up
through one side and then back down on
the other side
now when I get this fire you can see
I've got this loop a line right here
very simple now just walk it back to the
end of the nock go over top the nock I'm
going to walk that all the way back up
over top the point pull it tight and you
can see I've got a nice knot tied right
to the AMS safety slide the nice part
about this knot here is but when I get
the arrow back off my line simply just
going to roll it over so my bottom side
of my slide is up and you can see we've
got that little a little loop right here
started I'm going to pull that line and
I want to find the line that's closest
to the point right here so I grab that
line walk it down over top the point
walk it back down to the knock over top
the nock I want to pull on that voila
there might not just came out on my
slide without cutting the line today
there's a couple of knots that we use
here at AMS bow fishing I hope this
helps you out and get you back on the
water shooting fish remember from all
this today miss bow fishing aim low
think big
