Is the downward pressure necessary for proper launch or is this just a preference of yours? Reason why I ask is because I've seen more string loops tied where the arrow just nocks in the center between the top and bottom of the D than how yours is set-up.

I believe it is more personall prefernce BUT my way is becoming the norm among the top shooters(atleast it was when I was shooting)because of the "consistant" pressure.

I really don't know enough to spew forth, but hey, that's the story of my life, so here goes.

I personally "Firewall" draw my bow, and have 2 brass nocks above the arrow to prevent any movement. This gives me a solid top point to pull my release up against, and I use an eliminator buttonbelow, with my release right on the string. To use a loop, I'd loose 1/2" draw, and after seeing a guy damn near break his nose and knock a tooth out, I am afraid of those things anyhow. But with my set-up, I've never had the release knock the arrow from the string. I've even shot in a couple shots, where I was given a bow, without and eliminator button, and the release rested right against the nock of the arrow. I personally WOULD NOT advocate that practice, but I was just test shooting a bow to see how I liked it.

So now that I've spent my .02, I'm done.
