After reading all of these replies, I think I'll remain "loopless".

The advantages of shooting with a loop greatly outweigh the disadvantages.
Oh yeah??? Here's a quick snapshot at what you, and others have said:

I was at about half draw and WHAM, I hit myself in the face.

I had that happen once. It will give you a quick wake up.

I was at a 3d shoot and on the 21st target I started to draw and ended up hitting myself in the mouth.

Had one of those metal loops and it buggered up my service on my string. That cost me a nice 130' 8 point... Then later on another hunt, it happened again, only a split second before my release causing a dryfire, a broken fall away rest, bent cam, and a cable and string replacemant that cost 250.00.

My friends dad had his loop fail at an indoor range at half draw and sent an arrow flying into the wall. Scared the crap out of all of us.

u are lucky,,i had mine come loose when drawing on a deer,,i hit myself in the chest and the arrow hit the tree in front of me and then the ladder of my stand
Are you KIDDING me, Washington Hunter? I'd rather keep my jawbone in tact and be able to
chew the venison that I kill than to be able to shoot a 1/4 inch better at 25 yards. Something just tells me that slurping on a deer shake through a straw just wouldn't taste the same.
