just wandering what u guys think. I just bought a new bowtech allegiance tonight and I told him I wanted a string loop for my releaseand he said that if it were him he would justrelease off thestring and skip the loop all together. Is this bad on the string?

I never heard of it being bad on the string its just the oposit I personaly release off the string but thats my personal choice. a string loop lets you not worry about the arrow fallingoff the string because of the release angle and you get a smoother release altogether. it also doesnt wear the serving down like releasing off the string it also helps with peep alignment

I went to a loop this year on my Allegiance, only because I wanted to try one. I always shot off the string, with no problems. The advantages I see with the loop are - less wear on the serving (though I never had a problem with a quality string like WC), easier to adjust the nock height if needed, and the best reason of all, that the arrow doesn't pop off the string on a let-down. The main disadvantage of a loop is loosing a bit of draw length, i.e. power stroke. With a short head release, like the Rhino, this is minimal.

All in all, I like the loop and plan on staying with it for now.
