I see what you're saying Pinwheel... I was under the impression that modern braided serving material had solved this issue. I want to try hooking directly up the string again in an effort to get the string back on my nose at anchor. When I switched to a loop, I lost this reference point, even with my release adjusted as short as possible... I don't shoot near as much as some of you guys, just enough to stay proficient out to 35-40 yards, maybe 750-1,000 shots a year, so hopefully serving wear won't be an issue. Would love to shoot more, but time and responsibilities don't allow it right now, hopefully soon... Thanks for the input.
