RE: questions on rope releases?
I like Scott's Ole'Faithful rope release.I have used one for hunting for a long time.IMHO they are not much slower to hook to the string than a caliper type once you get on to it.
Rope releases are much more forgiving on servings than most caliper releases are and also create less tourque.

RE: questions on rope releases?
Bull,
With a rope release you impart upward torque to your arrow when you draw. I prefer to use the ready made PSE string loops and attach the jaws of the release to the loop. That way, you're lined up directly behind the center of the arrow which elliminates the upward torque.
I feel, the loop is more forgiving and accurate. Plus, you don't have to constantly have to wax the loop like you do the string on a rope release.
With the loop, you can use almost any release on the market.
Even on mose 3-D style releases that have a rope, you just remove the rope and attach the jaws directly to the loop.
That's what I did with my Carter Insatiable. I just leave it attached to the loop while hunting.
It works great and is ready to go when I spot a deer.
Of course, if you feel like trying a rope release it won't hurt anything. You may like it.
You can easily switch to a loop if you don't like the results with the rope.
Good luck!

RE: questions on rope releases?
You're welcome, Scott.
If you can find them, I recommend the PSE loops. They don't need to be tied on.
They come with their own knots. You just wrap them around your bowstring, tuck the knots under the loop string and cinch them up. I use the shaft of a screwdriver to cinch mine tightly to the string.
They last me all year.
Some releases are a bit harder on loops than others.
Just check the loop every now and then for fraying and replace if you notice any damage.
Whenever you wax your string and cables, wax the loop also.
If you can't find the PSE loops in your area, email your address to me and I will send you some.
See you later, Scott.
Good shooting!
