Default 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.

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.
