is there an advantage to using a String Loop?
 
right now i shoot by clipping my relase button onto the string, and it works great for me, im thinking of switch to a string loop because it will be less ware on the string? or does it not really matter?

While there is certainly some truth in the now infamous Greatest Post Ever thread, it is mostly comedic relief.

Yes, a string loop has it's advantages. First, you are drawing the string DIRECTLY behind the nock so you no longer are pinching the nock when you draw. You get a much cleaner release of the arrow that way. Second, it saves your string.

Yes the wear will be less to the actual bow string.

You will also be more accurate.

I also like a loop because I shoot short bows (32 - 33" ATA) and the loop eliminates the knock pinch phenomenon.

If it does enjoy the fat lip. It's a real treat.

If you plan on hunting with your bow this season, and you've practiced all sumemr long without a loop, don't add a loop now.

Wait until after this season to try one out.

I've said it many a time, there is no good reason not to shoot with a loop.

Will it save some wear and tear on your string?

You betcha.

Do you absolutely have to shoot with one in order to be accurate?

Nope.
