metal loop vs string loop

Is there any difference in the amount of noise that is made when the string is released ?
Just wondering if the metal loop is noisier.

I think it is. It also weighs more thus reducing arrow speed and there is always the chance that it could nick one of the synthetic cables.

I had a metal loop, with the little flat part behind the string that the knock slid over. The think I hated the most is that if the loop got twisted a little one way or the other, the arrow would pop right off. Often times when I am sitting in my treestand, I hold onto my bow, and have my release clipped on the string (loop). With the metal loop, every time I turned my release to the side or something while I was sitting there, the arrow popped off and fell to the ground! Not fun at all!

I believe the metal loop is louder and it also will slow down your arrow speed due to its heavier weight.

Use a string loop..... the metal ones like to eat serving, there heavier, and noisy.....

Not good use a loop.

I would go with a string loop. I had a metal one on my old bow and if that thing hits you in the arm, man you will be very very very unhappy.[:@]

i have shot a metal loop since last bow season when my spring loop let go will drawing on a deer,,i like i a lot,,as for turning it and arrow falling off i have had no trouble with that,,as for eating up serving i could not tell idid had some nocks on my a/c/c that did eat the servings up pretty good but they are still holding and dont look any different that they did after i switch to the hard loop and change arrows
