RE: Reviews of metal string loops/ pros and cons
 

Thanks for the review 5ver. I don't shoot a loop but if I do, think I will use the string loop.

Awesome site.

Thanks for that. But i heard that those metal string loops take about 10fps off. When i got the Ultra nok XL put on he said that it takes around 10fps off.[&:] OH well pretty good site keep up the good work

Myself and some friends have had the metal loop swing over during the shot and nick the cables. Maybe this only happens with specific bows but I would never use one again.

I've read that if/when those metal D loops fail.....the parts can hit the back of the bow limbs....and the parts have been known to deflect back into the shooter's eye(s). Yikes.

I definetly use the nylon loop type over the metal ones. the metal ones just take away too many FPS.

RE: Reviews of metal string loops/ pros and cons
 

I bought one of the micro ones and loved the set up and hooking the release to it but it was way way too loud!! And it did slow the bow down about 5 fps. It also was wearing on the serveing after only a few shots. I'll stick to my string loops..............

RE: Reviews of metal string loops/ pros and cons
 

A few things were brought to my attention after putting the review up. I feel they are all valid points so I updated the review to include them as well. Here is a copy:

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS:

1. On bows such as Mathews with the roller guards, the loop can fly forward hitting the roller
guard itself.

2. While I have experienced speed loss of 3 fps, others have had as much as 10 fps.

3. While I didn’t consider installation a major problem, others have. Installation does take
some time, and care must be used. The main problems are the tiny screws which are hard
to work with, and finding a properly sized screwdriver. If the wrong sized screwdriver is used
you run the risk of stripping the screw heads. Caution should also be used as one slip and
you can push the screwdriver right into your hand. Difficulty is a subjective term, and what I
feel is difficult other may not or vise versa.

4. The serving wear issue can lead to a dangerous situation, especially on the mono
servings. If the serving is cut, the loop then starts to dig into the string fibers, cutting them
as well. If that happens, you can have the string break without warning.
