Default RE: Should I remove my D loop?

I have shot both ways and most of my bows are set up to shoot straight off the string. I realize that's old school.There are advantages and disadvantages to a loop, but shooting off the string has worked very well for me. I think it's whatever you prefer and get used to, but shorter bows and longer draws probably benefit themost from a D loop.

I don't see where a properly installed loop would cause any torque. It might by increasing your draw length cause you to impart some torque to the Bow.

Thanks Dan, I bet that's what it is. I've been shooting with only my knuckle touching the cheek just under the ear while the rest of the hand is behind the cheeck with too much chance of play.
Yep, that would be my best guess. The change in draw length could be causing you to impart some torque on the bow by a change in grip, etc.

If you want to shoot a loop you might consider trying to shorten the draw a 1/2" and see what happens.
