Hi there, I agree completely with Dairy King. I own a pro shop and I set alot of bows up with the loop and the brass with eleminator button. Both systems have their pros and cons, as does everything in life. I prefer the brass button and eleminator buttons. You shoot what you feel comfortable with, try both and make up your mind as to which you like better.

I use a loop and a brass nock. I have never had any problems. I use the nock to insure my loop stays in place. I shot nothing but brass nocks and every thing from fingers to releases for many years with no problem.

Well I took the loop off. I then move my draw back to 28 and it shoots great and I have a solid anchor again. Try both and go with what works best. I like the loop,but it messes with me getting a good anchor. Good luck.

I use the stainless steel knock loop. Its great and saves wear and tear on the servicings adn pain staking sting loops. I wont go to another.

My new Allegiance is set-up with the nock/cushion. Why?? because the pro shop said I was at the perfect draw length and looked very comfortable when anchored. I was always a loop man. I see no change, either way is good. I do like hooking up to the string though, it is much easier.
The only problem I ever had with the loop was it stretched, and without me noticing the gentle lengthening process. I ended up getting way out of position, and compensating.

Whichever way you decide, will be fine.

I shoot both ways, doesn't effect my accuracy either way. It does effect how you tune the bow though. You can't just switch from one to the other, leave every the the same and expect good results.

Any time you change anything on your bow or set up you should verify the tune of the bow.

Id say take the loop off, but use a soft nock instead of the brass nocks, then put the plunger button under that to put your arrow between the two. Soft nocks are easier to tune with, and dont take as much speed away.
