I have just been shooting my bow by clamping my release to the string itself, but i have seen others use the loop. Is the loop better and should i think about getting one on my bow? Thanks

One of the reasons I use a loop is my release wears on it instead of the string.

I asked my archery guy and he told me that he wont let a bow out of his shop without the loop. I thought well... if someone really doesnt want one he cant make them have one.

They definatelysave your string, I don't use one but I use a Scott old faithful rope release......

A loop is nice because it puts your release point directly knock, which helps with your accuracy.
