brass nocks vs. string loops

[sngehl01]

What is better, or is it just a matter of personal preference? I use a 1" loop @ 29" draw now, but I ordered a new module which will increase my draw to 29.5 or 30" whichever I choose, and an extra 1" on 30" will be too much, so I may just using the little brass buttons if it really doesn't matter. Do loops help with accuracy or something? Let me know what you guys think/know from experiance. Thanks for the input.

After shooting a bow for 29 years, I am now using my first string loop and so far I really like it, although I am still weary of them breaking..........its a personal thing. I went with a very small loop on my Bowtech so that I could make very small changes in my draw length because the modular on my Patriot was a 1/2" short for me and I wanted to try a loop. I think they are really necessary on a shorter axel-to-axel bow. No nock pinch and easier on your string/serving. Some guys say they are more accurate as well(I haven't found that out yet). Brass nocks work well, but if you a lot of adjusting you need to be careful. I've cut a few servings trying to loosen brass nocks.

I am sure you will get comments from more experienced loop users who prefer them over brass nocks.

When I first started in archery the pro-shop/joke that setup my first bow advised not to use loops because of breakage, however after talking to another shop owner closer to where I lived at the time, explained the benifits of a loop. since the shop that sold me the bowthat hadto short of a draw length anyway (diddn't find that out till after I bought the bow but that's another story). after I put one on I'll never shoot without one again. There's no nock pinch, the nonk is centered in front of the release, the serving doesn't get worn, there's no upword pressure on the nock that could eventauly force your nocking point up, and I've never worn out a string loop, I've replaced strings and used the same loop over on the new string. they drop your draw length a little but the tradeoff is worth it.
