So after reading many articles and hearing many testimonies on this board and others I decided to put a string loop on my bow this "off season". I brought my bow in for a new string and when the pro shop technician saw my string loop he was like, "whoa be careful with these, I wouldn't use them for hunting, for target yes, hunting no" He said it is harder to get the release on to the loop vs. getting it on the string directly. He also said it would shorten my draw as well as cause me to lose speed.

Now I spoke to a guy at Cabelas who told me it wouldn't shorten my draw if I adjusted my release (made it shorter, I use the Mongoose and this seemed logical to me)

Why would this technician at my local shop try so hard to disuade me from using a string loop?

As always, I walked out of there confused.
