To clarify. I currently do not shoot a loop at all. I clip my release to the string just below the arrow. This seems to work fine but I wonder about what I am missing not using one. It seems to me like one more thing that could fail.

I do have some metal loops in my box of archery stuff. I tried them years ago but disliked having to find them when a shot at an animal presented itself. That and the metal to metal click I seemed to get. Didn't use it any more than on the range.

Didn't someone make a release that held above and below the arrow? I wouldn't mind one of those. Anyone know the one I'm talking about?...I have looked but nothing jumps out at me.
