For what it's worth I actually disagree from my own experiences. I shot with a loop for 4 years. I shortened my draw length. There is no difference in tuning my bows with a loop or without one.

I'm also a little old school when it comes to shortening a draw length to accomodate a loop. I kinda try and go by Bernie P's theory on where the string should be when at full draw by the corner of your mouth. When you start shortening draw lengths to accomodate a loop your changing one of the most important aspects of archery , being correctly fitted to the bow , not to mention giving up something which creates more speed and energy.

I can also honestly say I dont have any problems with serving wear shooting off the string , not with todays caliber type releases. My arrow doesn't pop off the string when I back down from full draw. I can see where a shorter ATA bow might have that problem if your not conscience of the possibility.

I'd like to see some of the regulars on here take their setups and change to shooting off the string for a month and come back with an honest assesment of the tuning factor and forgiveness factor of the loop -vs- off the string.

I've also been paying particularly close attention to hunting setups while watching hunting videos and I've noticed the overwhelming majority of the hunters are shooting off the string. I'm not sure if that means anything , but start paying attention to their setups and you'll see what I mean.
