I'm with Meanv on this one. This is kinda like the peep/no peep decision. Some guys love loops, some guys don't. I prefer them myself, but I like to practice out to 60 yards, and I feel they help with long distance accuracy. But for most hunting in the woods, wehre most of my shots are under 30 yards, I don't think a loop will show any significant gain in accuracy. You can try one, throw away the metal ones, and go with one tied with BCY material, not the camo stuff.

I've shot bows both ways, and to me it is a toss up. The bow I've hunted with most this year does Not have a loop. It doesn't make me any more/less accurate to have a loop, and it does change the felt draw length of the bow even if it is onlyslight. That's a No Brainer!
I know guys that shoot a loop and still miss deer and/or make bad shots. Would they be worse without a loop? I doubt it[8D]
Jason, I would be careful putting that many years on a bowstring. I have seenagedstrings completely blow without even a little warning. To me it would not be worth the risk to put more than 2 years on a string.
