I shoot off the string. Here is why....I use a tru-fire crackshot release, which is a handheld release not a wrist strap type. The "jaws" of the release are between my index and big finger right under my knuckles. The "jaws on my type of release are not the type to use with a string loop....it only has a round rod that holds the string and is very difficult to attach to a string loop. I would have to change the release to a wrist strap type that puts the jaws near the end of my outstretched fingers and would result in a 2" shorter draw length. No way am I prepared to lose that much speed, kenetic energy, and whatever else I would lose.
