Release loop or shooting off the string?
 
Do you guys prefer release loops, or just shooting right off the string?

Generally speaking, the loop is a better mousetrap. More forgiving. Less wear on the string.

my bow will be ready this weekend, and he said he isent putting a bow loop on because its not necessary, and they have to be changed sometimes, but will put one on if i want.

Less torque on the string, I think it shoots alot smoother then when I shot off the string.

Won't go out in the woods without a loop. They are durable (haven't had to change mine in at least a year), saves unnecessary wear and tare on the string. If properly tied, won't pinch an arrow nock.....which I can't say for shooting off the string.

Hey bar of Soap check out the thread of my DXT it has the string loop on it.

I like to shoot off the string, but depending on the bow some times they won’t shoot right with out one. I’m not sure what you bought, but if it was the DXT you asked about before I would use one.

D-loop all the way. Change it 4 years ago and never looked back.

Release Loop for me.I wore 2strings outshooting off the string.My accuracy improved alot once I made the change.I use a very small loop.I think this helps keep my string quiet and fast.Try both see which works for you.

RE: Release loop or shooting off the string?
 
A lot of times for me it depends on the application or the bow. I have used both and it really doesn't matter either way personally. For shorter axle to axle bows a string loop helps with string pinch, and it also helps with peep alignment in some cases.

That being said I don't shoot any more accurately with a loop than I do without one if the bow is set up and tuned properly for each.

I'm kinda surprised this poll isn't a lot more lopsided. Don't know anyone who is still shooting off the string.

I shoot off the sting but I guess I am the minority. That is how I have always shot and never really saw the need to add one my bow has always shot fine without it.

Only problem is my DL might be to long if i add a loop, so i might have to use the string [:@]

I would much rather change the loop than change the string . there is less wear and less pinch . i would have him put one on and try it out i think you will like it . If not you can take it off
