We'll If you have a long release and/or a loop you cannot physicaly pull the bow back as far. Sure its only 1/4-1/2 inch but when your talking having the bow fit you right that may make all the difference.

Wear on the searving isn't much of a factor as I can easily reserve it. Though it would be nice to just replace the loop and not have to retune the whole setup. However my old compound has 14 years on the serving with me pulling from below the nock. Granted I didn't shoot it a ton some of those years but it sure has put plenty downrange. More than you'd think it should have on the original string etc.

Ok lets look at pros and cons.

Pros
------------------------------------
Lessens serving wearDoesn't seem like a huge issue
More even release <-----------I like this one for sure




Cons
-----------------------------------
not as easy to find in hunting situation <----------------could be a major problem, looking down to find the loop....
one more thing to fail if tied right it shouldn't fail but....
Slight decrease in physical length you can draw May be so slight its not an issue

At least thats how I see it. Like I said I can see why the idea is a good one. I just worry about finding it in a hunting situation. (I hate having to look down to clip the release on) That may not be an issue if you got realy use to it I guess. I also worry about them failing. It would realy suck to have a huge buck at 25 yards and have the loop come untied. Just my traditional simple is best coming out....

I may have to try one again in the spring/summer with this new bow. I do find it funny that people went to releases from fingers to get a cleaner release and now thats not "clean" enough and you have to go with an extra string loop.

Just a thought.

I've shot a long time and learned the hard way to research before getting the newest gadget no matter how cheap. You have less headaches that way.
