When the question is asked,does a loop affect draw length,the answer is yes,regardless of how you want to spin it.
If I have my bow set at 28" with a .5" loop. How long is my draw length? 28" correct? If I add a 1" draw loop, how long is my draw. It still is 28" correct? The only thing that changes is the position of my hand in the anchor. Therefore I can customize the length of my loop to allow my arm and elbow to be in perfect alignment for my shot. No draw length adjustment needed. My head and torso remain in aligment without having to lean back or turn my head slightly to compensate. The foundation (my body and head in relation to the string) and where the anchors on my face are haven't changed. The only thing that changes is my hand anchor which I can customize.

So when the question is asked, does a loop affect draw length, the answer is NO, regardless of how you want to spin it. A d loop will effect where your hand is anchored, as will the length of your release, but it won't change your facial anchors to the string or your head and body body position.

Here are a two links that might say it a little more clearly than I can
