I have a string loop on my bow, don't really know to many cons, but i really like mine. I know a couple of people that have the metal or plastice loops, what ever they are made of, anyways. They seem to make there bow a little louder. Not to sure if that is it, but my string on mine dose not seem to make any noise!

been using one for 6 years no cons except the minimal speed loss, my accuracy has improved and arrow doesnt fall off as much if you turn or whatever while hunting! Good luck

Got to agree with the opinions above, there`s alot of pros and the only con I can think of is if your bow can`t shorten it`s draw length you might find your drawing a little long. Not much but someone had to think of something

Turk,
Then the answer is to have an adjustable release that can take up the extra 1/4 - 1/2 "
For this reason I shoot with the Scott Little Bitty Goose which you can use the rope to adjust the length and thereby adjust your anchor point.

Thanks guys. I put one on and it did change my anchor point but I will compensate for it with my relaese. I have yet to shoot it through a crono but I suspect the speed change is not an issue. It has not changed my POI. Thanks.

Turk_man,
a string loop will not change your draw length...it only changes your anchor point

It will change how far your hand lays on your face, and how far your drawing shoulder and elbow rotate.
Much better shortening up the release head than shortening draw length.
Your release is directly behind your nock.

but I disagree with this also........A loop will cause your release head to sit ABOVE your nock at full draw - take a look

To get it directly behing the nock you need to add a long string nock below the nock to move that lower knot down.
