I personally have always felt more comfortable shooting from the string. I dont like the idea of the loop coming free on me in the middle of the release, i dont like the extended length, and it takes more maintenece. Strings loops have the advantanges of "twisting the string, and a more natural release behind the sight". But, I can change the serving whenever needed(which isnt as often as people think), and if you have a proper release you dont have to worry about twisting the string. So, i will continue to shoot off the string.
