What are the advatages to using these? I have never even tried one on any of my bows mainly because I Use a Gator Jaw release

I am thinking of trying one but would like to know pros and cons

damnifiknow, Frank.

I've actually been thinking of going to a rope on my thumb release to shorten my DL a little. My loop keeps stretching.....if ever so slightly.

I would "imagine" the the smaller the pinch point in the place your release attaches, though.....the less torque on the string. I think this is splittin' hairs, though.

Great question. I've seen your release and it looks sound.

Well a loop with a double jawed release isn't going to do anything for you. All releases can't use a loop.The big advantage of a loop, no string wear. If you tie a loop properly with the right material it will not stretch to the point of being a problem. A loop also gives you a much more pure release. It puts the release directly behind the arrow. With a loop you can let down without the arrow coming off the string. It will take away some of those errant shots no matter how little they're off. It's a no brainer to me just for saving wear and tear on the string.

Jeff, on your Conny the loop really is unnecessary. The loops were created as you stated for pinch and extreme angles on small ATA bows. Hell, even on my 36" ATA 82nd I wouldn't need a loop. I never shot loops on any of the 36" Hoyts I had in the past. My first loop was on my 33" ATA Ally.

Bingo Rob that was the answer I was looking for _ I think I will continue to use my Gator Jaws as both bows will be over 37 ATA - As far as string wear with the double jaw release - I haven't noticed any at all - but something else just came to mind

With the Double Jaw - the space between the jaws allows for a little flexing depending on the size of the arrow nock- the current set-up is a single nock point with an eliminator button underneath - But I still think the Gator is here to stay
thanks for the FB

Tell me a substitute, then. I am ALL ears! My thumb release can't be attached directly to the string the way I turn my hand at full draw. it might be as simple as NOT turning my hand so much.....lol. If I were to use the rope that came with the release.....how do I do that small enough to take out a little DL?

Thank you!

Sorry frank...[8D]
