I use a release called a gator jaw it grabes the string on both sides of the nock and need nothing on my string except a nok above and below my arrow nock. I have been using the same release for ten years and have not had one problem with it and I do shot a lot in the summer and fall. and this type of release does not add as much to your draw as a string loop . It is hard for me to find a bow I like with a 26 inch draw.
