As long as you tie the loop long enough to leave a little clearance between the jaws and the arrow nock, the Bear Paw works just fine with a loop. You also should keep the loop heavily waxed so it will be stiff enough to clip the release to it easy. You can just the back tension triggering method with it just the same as a wrist strap release. You just have to remember to relax your hand and turn loose of the palm part of the strap when you get to anchor.
