new bow question

[Armybowhunter28]

I went to talk to my archery shop guy that is going to order my new mathews. And we got to talking about draw lengths and mine is a 29 1/2 and he said if I put a 1/2 inch string loop on a 29 inch draw that it is more comfortable. Have you all heard of this or do you have your bows set up like this. Please let me know what you think.

[Rob/PA Bowyer]

He's exactly right, a loop depending on how big will change your draw length or anchor point. Really think about it. If you keep your same draw length and add a 1/2" loop, your holding your release hand back an additional 1/2" than before the loop was added.

A 29" Bow adding the 1/2" loop your right back at 29 1/2" on DL. Depending on your anchor.

I agree and for me it is even more comfortable to shoot with a loop than without,regardless of what I do to the draw length.I am able to hit my anchors better.That is probably more due to me having shot one for solong though.

I had never used a loop until I got my new bow a couple months ago. I don't think I will shoot without one again (on a compound).
