That's pretty smple to understand, I would think, also.

IF the archer already knows he wants to use a Dloop. There's only ONE DL that will allow him to use the loop; release aid of choice AND to maintain proper form. If he changes the loop length, then.....his NOR the bow's (which will NEVER change) DL won't change. his anchors will (and his form will likely suffer).

I have a LOT....I mean a LOT of repsect for Greg/MO AND TFox's knowledge on most everything archery/hunting. I sincerely hope that isn't in question.

We've just obviously come to an empass in ideologies. I can accept that.
This is where we disagree and it might be a matter of opinion.I have shot 2 different loop lengths with 2 different draw length settings on the bow and both are correct for me dependant upon what kind of shooting I want to do.

The longer draw length with the shorter d-loop allows me to get more behind the shot.MY draw length is slightly longer set up this way.I was shooting this style for serious 3-d from the open stake and would utilize it for indoor as well if I liked to shoot indoor.If I were to be competing in really hilly terrain,I would use more of my current 3-d set up because it is shorter,even with a long loop the bow being set at 28" allows for more back pressure if you will for those uphill/downhill shots.This is a little better hunting setup as well.
