I originally set up with the D-loop, but found that it decreased my effective drawlength, I also like the positive connection to the string. One less thing to go wrong and give premature ejection.

I shoot both my target and hunting bows with a release off the string. Switched to a release a few years back from fingers when the arthritis started causing to much pain in the finger joints.
Live to hunt, hunt to live!!!!!
Back to the compound :)
I shoot a D loop so I can have a more consistant shot. I pondered shooting off the string in order to gain a half inch in drawlength but decided I would be giving up more consistancy to get a little bit of speed.

Straight off the string for me, I like the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid), If I don't NEED it I don't want it. I also like being able to fit my release aid onto the string while keeping my eyes on the critter (comes in handy when they are watching me watching them
No string or D loop means one less thing to worry about when I am out hunting, I do serve my string with 3 to 4 wraps of dental floss. This protects the string and it lasts for quite a while, when it starts looking ratty I trim it off and replace it. I have seen a few string loops come undone and I also seen one of the metal clamp on loops cut the string after only a few weeks (although I think it may have been fitted incorrectly).
