GOTTA- disagree. i shoot 31" so the angle is wicked with not a problem. ive seen more bad worn and failed string loop material and never seen one broken string from metal loops. the string never touches the metal because the metal loop uses a washer between. other than maybe loosing a little fps because of the weight of the metal loop i dont see any other concerns. i really wanna love a string loop but i dont see the big deal when it comes to hunting but then again i use a whisker bizcut . this forum is about hunting not target shooters isint it?
