RE: To use a knocking loop or not
 

I had to use a loop so I could get the proper draw lenght, but that said I really like it and if I were to get a bow that would fit (33") I would shorten the draw and still use a loop.

RE: To use a knocking loop or not
 

Always a loop.

Without a loop....
Take a nock off your arrow and nock it on the string all by itself.
Draw your bow and watch the nock spin.

Now add a loop and do the same thing.

Secondly....if you use a release and nock under the arrow, using a button or not, you have immedietly created an inherent downward angle of you string and the arrow at release.

Big reason a LOT of rest issues relating to arrow flight can be eliminated right away by adding a loop.

RE: To use a knocking loop or not
 

If my memory serves me correctly, Scott tells yourightin their instructions NOT to use a metal loop with their releases.
As far as a string loop goes, I think anyone who shoots a release anddoesn't use one is foolish. I'm not trying to insult anyone with that statement, but I just feel very strongly that there are somany advantages to a loopthat it should be a no-brainer. (Especially since the advent of releases like the Rhino and the Short N Sweet. You lose almost no draw length due to the loopwith them.)
