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.

Yes it will make your string last longer.

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.

will i have to re adjust my sight if i get a loop?

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.

However there is one disadvantage that im surprised hasnt been mentioned. It can interfere with some peoples prefered anchor point in the same way that some release aids shorter or longer design do. Depending on the ata lengthand string angle of the bow and anchor point that u desire it might and might not be right for you. I shoot a with a truball pro diamond release and like my anchor to be pointing and middle finger knuckles on my jaw bone, with the tip of my nose on the string( maybe slightly off to the side). Now if i were to shoot a d loop my anchor would be farther back and uncomfortable. I know now ur thinkin well shorten your draw length a little. Nope this will cause the string contact with my nose to be different forcing me to drop my head down at more of an angle which is a NO NO.(chin always straight,never up or down). the only answer to keep my prefered anchor point and string to face position would be to shoot a shorter relase.(such as the pro diamond extreme which is 7/16ths shorter than the pro diamond). My point is that sometimes depending on string angle, release aid, and desired anchor point a D loop can be a DISadvantage.
