String loop

[double lunger]

What's yalls opinion on them? thinking about switching to one but wanted the pros and cons first

[runnin2live]

I have always used them. Save the serving on your bow string if shooting a release.

[Ol Thumper]

Nothing but pro's IMO, Ive used them for at least the last 10 years,

Have shot for 20 years and just got a string loop with my Z7 a couple months ago - love it.

[mchildress]

It is the way to go

It took me awhile to try one and man idk what I was waiting on should of tried one a long time ago. Really help my shooting.

[Mike Javi Cooper]

Only way to go with a release.

Like stated above, nothing but positives. I always like to make mine as short as possible while still leaving just enough room.(also, tie it where there is a knot on each side of your string, not both facing the same direction) They say that they shouldn't change your draw length but I had a buddy that use to make his so long I'd just point and laugh.

loop is the way to go the only negative i can think of is trying to hook the release up to it when buck fever sets in. its not quite as easy as going right to the string.

and dont wait to replace the d loop if it starts to show signs of wear. ive punched myself in the chin when the d loop broke while drawing the bow. but thats my fault, should have replaced it when it started showing some wear and tear.

As others have said, do it! I now install orange loops on my customer bows. It is sooo much easier to see in low light. I also tie inside the loop an upper (3 wraps) and a lower (9 wraps) nock sets. The reason why more on the bottom is to keep an even pressure on the rest. If you ever need to change your loop the place is set where to install. I also leave a small gap between the nock sets (1/32") to keep from having nock pinch.

The purpose of the loop is to eliminate string torquing. with a release there is a tendancy to twist the string a full draw and with the loop installed the string stays straight making you more accurated down range. Plus there is no wear on the serving due to contact with the release.

I've always heard that if you go to a loop it causes you to have to shorten dl, making you loose fps?

[Davik]

Nope

Draw length remains the same...your anchor may have to change a bit, but draw length remains the same...

A D loop does not shorten your dl. If you are using a release on bare string you are below the arrow nock with your release point causing a weird angle.

If you use a D loop you are directly behind your arrow knock with your release point at the correct angle (no angle).

No loss of fps, might even be better because you are releasing the string in line with the arrow instead of up onto the arrow.

What you may have heard is that a release adds length to your draw length, and that use to be the case with hand held models. But now with the wrist straps and shorter releases it is irrelavant.

Get a D loop installed, buy a good release and never look back. Its the only way to go.
