Default RE: STRING LOOP OR STRAIGHT OFF THE STRING?

I have shot both, including the metal Ultra Nock. I shoot of the string most of the time. For one I have a very short draw any way, like 25.5-26 inches. I don't want to give up the extra length caused by using a string loop, I don't care if it is only 1/2 an inch. I like the way the bow anchors to my face without the string loop. It's easier for me to get the proper relationship from face to the string without the loop. I shoot a 30 inch axle to axle bow now though, that makes a difference to me. My darton still has a string loop on, but it's axle to axle is a hair over 35 inches.

If I were to set up a bow to stricty target shoot with, I would most likely go with a string loop. Other wise I just shoot off the string. Like said above, I can't tell a difference in accuracy. I also use a fletch hunter 3-D release. It has a larger radius where it holds the string to cut down on serving wear.
