I have used both a metal loop and a string loop and really don't see any difference between the two other than what 5-shot said, the price. I used a metal loop for 3 or 4 years, then switched to a string loop and have been using it for the last 3 years. I hear a lot of people on this board say that the metal loop will damage the serving, but I never saw where this was a problem. Either one you choose will work fine.

Working in a pro shop I have seen the metal loops damage the string and some that also hit the buss cabals, Not all bows but, some. I started tieing loop back in 1993 on mine and have come up with diffrent thing to solved some of the prombles we had back then and it must be getting around because I see bows come in the store and at national shoot where people are do the same little thing as myself. A tied in string loop is the best way to go, I have only had one that broke in all the years I have used them and that one was my fault it was on a bowfishing rig and the string was worn out. Never have had one come untied.

Go with the string loop! I started with one this year tightened up my groups by an inch at thirty yards.

For me, a string loop is the only way to go. They are very consistent and forgiving. I won't use a metal loop for fear of damaging my expensive release jaws, I tie my own at home. Get loopy!

Pick a hair.....or a caruncle!!

I would use a loop. I started using on finally this winter and wont go back.

String loops are great, but you must be careful. If you do not have a good release it will do a lot of damage to your loop and string. It happened to me this year. I just so happened to look the loop over and noticed it was just about wore into. Could have been dangerous for me and for others. This loop had not been used over 20 times before it started wearing. Just make sure you have a good release!
