Loop or no loop?
That is the question that I ask of thee :D
Anyway...I dont care for the string damage and was considering a string loop, the bowshop owner says he personally doesnt like them I have heard good and not really any bad but he says it messes stuff up....but heck it could save me a string! So a my question is if you shoot one....and if you like it? |
RE: Loop or no loop?
Never shot a bow without one, so I really cant compare. But I sure do like the loop.
|
RE: Loop or no loop?
I dont know many people that dont shoot one.... And know/heard nothing bad about them.
|
RE: Loop or no loop?
Thats what I was thinkin....so probly am gonna have one thrown on but with 6 days to go till the opener I will probly wait a little while.

RE: Loop or no loop?
I will not set up a bow I plan to use with a release without a string loop.........ever.
One of the absolutes for me in archery. |

Here ya go, Matt... a pretty smart guy wrote this once upon a time. ;)
I will simply not have a bow without a string loop set up........ 1. No serving wear from a release 2. No torque on the bowstring at full draw 3. No nock pinch which can pop an arrow off if you let down 4. Allows for release pressure directly behind the nock (helps in nock travel and a cleaner release) 5. Can help fine tune anchor point 6. With today's loop specific releases it is no longer necessary to shorten your draw length to compensate for the change in anchor that the addition of a loop demands. 7. Tied properly the arrow leaves the string more consistently than a release under or varying pressure caused by wearing Eliminator buttons 8.Relatively light and easy to tie. If done right slipping is NOT an issue. (Releasedamage breakageCAN be so make sure the jaws aren't ragged or cutting your loop in any way) 9. Can be used to help consistently align your peep sight precisely square at full draw 10. You can more easily interchange between ANY release style with a loop. Disadvantages? Many people don't fully understand what they do and cause with relationship to form and proper anchor and don't utilize them correctly.......other thanthat, I personally do not find ANY disadvantages whatsoever. At no time in the last 10yrs or so have I even given a split second thought to shooting off the string.;) |
RE: Loop or no loop?
I started out shooting without one. After a couple of years I had one put on and have had one on every bow since.

RE: Loop or no loop?
I never had one till this year, I have only about 50 shots with my bow since it came back with a bunch of new stuff. I have some getting used to the loop. my draw is a little longer and I am teaching my self to compensate for the extra length. I also have tried to put the release on the string a couple of times after 17 years of habit. if your going with one like me for the first time, do it soon so you can get used to it. good luck
