I've noticed that with the loop set up like it is in my first pictures, when I draw my release tends to pull the loop sort of above where my arrow is nocked.

Having the loop below eliminates this because when it is pulled up a bit it comes in right behind the nocked arrow. I don't know if this makes any difference or not, but that's just one thing I noticed between the two.

my loop always wears out at the top also.

Yesiree, I can fix that real easy... remove loop... problem solved.

I know, I know, tons of people shoot loops and love 'em. Easier to tune they say, peep rotation issue gone, straighter pull, less torque, tastes great less filling... the list goes on.

The truth is that a direct attachment is better for hunting applications hands down. One less thing for that ever present Murphy's Law issue to attach itself to. Attach to... get it? [8D]

I don't mean to criticize... loops just aren't that big of an in-the-field benefit that's worth the potential issues, regardless of material type used to fashion them, IMHO.

I am going to try moving the top loop up like you have it.... Thanks a LOT ! I will let you know how it goes...
