D loop and release question.

[J-J Matt]

I just started shooting a Truefire hardcore release and it's the first time I've shot a hook style release. I put a new d loop on my string and have shot it about 150 times with the new release and its already fraying my d loop. Most of the time my d loop lasts a heck of lot longer than that. The material I used for this one is different that the stuff I usually use, so my question is to you guys that shoot a hook style release. Is it the release wearing on it or did I get a bad piece of string for the d loop. Are the hook style releases hard on d loops or what. I wouldn't think it would be any different, but I don't know anything about these releases. Thanks.

What d loop did you go with? I picked up a set of 3 cheep ones for the same price as the 2 pack I normally buy. I won't make that mistake again!!!

i say its the d loop because i also shoot with a hook style release and my d loop last a long time maybe about 400 - 500 shots

Im not even sure. It was just a piece that was in my bow box.

I have noticed the hook style being hard on loops also, but any release that has any kind of edge,(not smooth and rounded), tends to wear the loop, usually on top side.(more pressure)
I use really stiff loop material, and short loops so they stand out, and after stretching become very rigid.
I think target shooters like a softer loop material, but they're rarely in a hurry to hook up.
With my release, and loop material I use, the loop will last the life of the string

I bought the Academy Gamer winner loop string and it was frayed and the core was bulging out after 20 shots. I wouldn't use that stuff for boot laces.

I switched to a double caliper because of that reason

I think they are harder on loops I use a hook style and I have to replace mine every 3 months. However I shoot about 50 arrows a day
