damnifiknow, Frank.

I've actually been thinking of going to a rope on my thumb release to shorten my DL a little. My loop keeps stretching.....if ever so slightly.

I would "imagine" the the smaller the pinch point in the place your release attaches, though.....the less torque on the string. I think this is splittin' hairs, though.

Great question. I've seen your release and it looks sound.
