RE: Anyone NOT useing a string loop ?
I was " anti-loop" for years. Hated the damn things. Finally after really getting used to one that was set up properly, It started to grow on me.
Now after abour 2.5 years of shooting one constantly, I don' t see myself ever going back to off the string unless I' m using a rope release on a long Axle to Axle bow.
Less serving wear was nice, but not a big concern for me. But I have noticed a big diff in tune-ability with various arrow spines, and added forgive-ness from torque issues and a too hard or too soft anchor. Also due to my build (short arms, very wide shoulders) it works with my form much better.
Some guys see a positive diff w/ the loop, some guys don' t . I' m in the camp of the former.
