Peebles is not wrong... in that shorter ATA bows do benefit from the loop, especially if you are a longer draw archer. I imagine that a loop would really shine with todays ultra shorties that seem to be dominating the scene. Personally, I don't care for string loops. I pull 31" but can comfortably draw 32 depening on the bow. A direct attachment with a quality release, (like a Goose), eliminates my concern that something else could go wrong at the moment of truth.
