Release Users...D-loop Yes or No?
This is not a poll about release brands! In fact don't even mention your brand of choice - it isn't relevant here.
Who uses a D-loop? Or do you shoot right off the string? If you use a loop, is it string or is it one of the "permanent" ones?
Tell us what you use and why you prefer it that way. You can select more than one option on the poll.
Post up and let us know what you prefer and why.

Release off string. Me i just dont know any better, thats the way my bow came, it shoots awesome!
Re: Release Users...D-loop Yes or No?
I use D-loops on all my bows, most are set up to exert slight downward pressure to get consistant arrow to rest contact.

I voted "release w/ string D-loop".
It saves wear and tear on the string serving and it places the release aid right behind the nock of the arrow (or as close to right behind as I can).....
I believe that this way promotes straighter nock/arrow travel at the shot - which in turn "should" be a more accurate shot. I want to take as many variables out of the equation as are possible.
I don't use any of the permanent kind of loops that are secured to the string by clamps or such as this (to me) is too bulky and it causes speed loss with its excess weight.

On my 3D bow I use a string loops due to the short axle to axle combined with long draw length.
My hunting bow I release off the string due to a longer axle to axle length. Mike

I have to agree, X2.

I use a string d-loop and release, thats the way my bow was set up when i bought it and thats what i got a custom to shooting.If it works don't change it.I also agree with BowWalkers comments.
Re: Release Users...D-loop Yes or No?
I use a d loop that being said i am going to start shooting of my string on my hunting bow . I might no like it but----
Re: Release Users...D-loop Yes or No?
D- loop; shortens the draw, some speed loss, metal D - loop lots of weight and speed loss.
No D - loop; longer draw,more speed.
D - loop: no wear on the bow string, I find it easier and quicker to tune, no arrow pinch, as release is right behind the nock,can also use it to shorten or lenghten draw by using a shorter or longer D - loop, and best of all CHEAPER THAN A NEW BOW STRING.
No D - loop: more string/ serving wear,arrow pinch, expecially on short ATA bows, the arrow can fall off as the nock is barly on the string at full draw as the release pulls below the nock so it pulls more of the string out of the nock and a down hill { treestand } shot could mean a dry fire . I think I explained it okay for people to understand.
I use a D - loop and have for years.I can dam near tie them on with my eyes shut.
Re: Release Users...D-loop Yes or No?
I use a d-loop. I used to shoot off the string and only switched wen I got my new bow as I figured that I was all new in the set up so why not make a switch for the better.
