nock or loop
 

It's probably been asked before, but my limited search knowledge hasn't proved an answer..I currently shoot a SCOTT release and string nock.arranged w/1 down and two above to reduce nock pinch. I plan to get a new set up ths year, and if I change, loop adding to draw length etc. I don't want to change it again. so here it is...

in the vast knowledge that is bowhunting.net what are the advantages nd disadvanteges in the two setups?

Hey thanks for all the input, not even a hey try looking here...

Petty dissapointed for the turn out of my first post..

The loop does not add to your draw length, that is what it is. What it will do is change your anchor point further back by the amount of the loop. The pro's are less wear on your string, less pinch, pull straight behing nock, no twist. The cons are changing your anchor point. If you were to setup a poll and ask who use them I would guess 80% shoot with a loop. I have gone back and forth on this and presently use one.

I too shoot a loop and it did move my anchor back a bit, but nothing that I couldn't adjust too in a couple shooting sessions. I have never used a nock before as I went from fingers to release and started out with a loop. My wife shoots a nock and she shoots fine with it. The string wear is about the only technical difference. Speed freaks will say the loop makes your bow a little slower, but nothing any normal person will ever notice.

Thaks, I was under the impression hat the string would speed it up, les eight and all, how about noise level, as I am kinda even in that speed or sound issue, which is wich

I miss worded anchor point and draw length, thanks for catching that TerryM.

I prefer to use the loop. Used the string and tore up the serving and had to replace the string before needed too.

So I will always use a loop

love the loop

Guess that I didn't think about the string that much, my OLD DARTON has a plastic cord type material covering about a third of the string, and my steel cables are plastic coated, it's still the original string, and yes I shoot he living daylights out of it.. the copper noc on my string has torn the daylights out of my release is the main reasonI'm asking. of the loop is even close to the copper noc, then I want to save 50bucks on a new release.what is the difference in noise and speed between the two? and any other pros or cons between them
