Saved,

You can remove the loop and shoot off the string. You'll probably need a eliminator button between the nock and release, but it does work. That's how we shot for years. String loops have only gotten popular in the last couple years. As for using a brass nockset? That can work, but remember to tie some serving material or dental floss above it to keep it from moving. A better bet is to just tir on a nockset using serving material. It works just as well and doesn't suck as much speed away (4fps per brass one).
You'll most likely have to retune the bow, as this is a major change mechanically. But it doesn't require major tuning change as a norm.
On a personal basis I use a rope release (Cascade model 8) which has the "loop" on the release so I don't even use an elimator button. Never have.

An additional note to your form. With proper drawlength and everything you should, with your short draw, still be able to touch your nose to the string. Giving you can example, I have a bow set for 27" draw. My anchor allows the string to ride slightly off to the side of my chin. The string contacts my lips about 1/4" from center and my nose touches the string. This with a 32" bow. My wingspan is 67.5" so by the book I'm slightly too long but it still works.
Someday when you have everything adjusted just so you should be able to look at your target, never taking your eyes off it, and draw the bow to your anchor, never moving your head even the slightest bit. If you have to move your head at all the bow doesn't fit.
