RE: String Loop yes or no?

I use one and think it's great. Not only does it prevent wear and tear on your string, it also (and more importantly) allows you to draw from directly behind the arrow thus preventing arrow torque and nock pitch. IMO, this makes the bow easier to tune and improves accuracy.

Great invention and one of the best things to come along in archery in some time. While other gizmos and gadgets aren't worth the plastic their packaged in, this painfully simple design is one of the best upgrades you can put on your bow.

I wish I'd have thought of it.

I voted no, but I suppose i should have voted doesnt matter. I'm already draw length challenged, so I don't need to add another 1/2 or better to the DL. I also have a single caliper release, so I haven't noticed much wear on my serving. I like shooting off the string.

I just started using a lop and so far I really like it. Noticed some wear on my string which is the reason why I switched. Other than that I like the felling of being right behind the arrow instead of below.

Keep it as small as possible, and very little (if any) down side.

There is no good reason not to shoot with one.

I definitely shoot with one.

RE: String Loop yes or no?

I didn't have one on my PSE.

In 2.5yrs of ownership, I didn't have on on my LX for 2 yrs and then had one for the last 6 months.

I have one on my Vipertec.

I like having it but didn't really notice any issues when I didn't have one.
