I have a metal string loop. Can I use this for a couple shots to last me till tomorrow? Would it hurt my bow? Thanks

I tried a metal one at one time, and I had a problem with my release not wanting to let go of the metal loop. I would stick to the string loop, alot smoother release, my metal one went in the trash can.

It could ruin the jaws on your release by raising a burr. Then when you go back to your string loop, the burr will cut it to shreds. I suggest setting the bow aside until you can get what you need and, for tonight, grab a nice cold beverage and settle in for an evening of your favorite bowhunting reading.

Those metal loops cause more harm than good. The whole point of a loop is to take tension out if tork your release. If you still tork, your just turning that hole metal loop with it. Its also like putting about 10 brass nocks on your string. I really recomend rope if your going to use a loop, or just shoot straight off the string.

why don't you just hook your release on your bow string like we all did before to string look came along.

If you have been using a string D loop and then you put on the metal one expect your impact point to change. you will have to adjust yur sights then when you go back to a string D loop you will have to reset again.

D loop saves serving wear one reason I use one..

I am not a big fan of the metal loops. They can be noisy, reduce arrow speed and can cause potential damage to your release and or cables.

I would suggest waiting. The metal loop as others have said can damage your release and cables.

I definitely wouldnt use the metal string loop. Like hunter9022 said... they will cause more harm then good. Accuracy may change a little as well and can be harsh on the release. I would just wait it out.

Here's Bob Ragsdale's reasons to use a string loop:
"Eliminates arrow-falloff at full draw.
- Makes nocking point location less critical.
- No need to re-nock after a let-down.
- No serving wear from release aid contact.
- Assures easy one-handloading
- Releases can remain attached and ready to go.
- Eliminates gaps in serving from up pressure on nocking point.
- Controls peep sight rotation.
- Eliminates nock warping due to pinch at full draw.
- Allows release aids to be at an angle rather than only level.
- Makes shorter length bows easier to work with.
- Extends maximum available sight range area.
- Prevents arrow from sliding down the string during the shot.
- Prevents release aid rope slap with high cheek anchor.
- Improves shoulder alignment.
- Loop length can modify draw length of bow.
- Eliminates chin slap from inward swinging release aid ropes.
- Can be used with all non-rope release aids.
- Reduces string vibration noise."
