I have used a string loop for 5 years now and have not had any trouble with it. When I go elk hunting and am out hiking I have my release hooked onto my string loop and it works for me. Stump I just can't tell you that it will make your shooting better or that your bow will be just awsome because it has it. I think it is just personal prefernce. I like it and it works for me so I use it. Although I can say I have never had one come loose on me, but what a bugger to get off to put a new one on.
