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.)
