RE: Release shooters...D loop, string loop, no loop?
I use a release called a gator jaw it grabes the string on both sides of the nock and need nothing on my string except a nok above and below my arrow nock. I have been using the same release for ten years and have not had one problem with it and I do shot a lot in the summer and fall. and this type of release does not add as much to your draw as a string loop . It is hard for me to find a bow I like with a 26 inch draw.

I tie my own loop. I tie both knots BELOW the arrow nock, and tie in a serving above the arrow. This eliminates a possible "floating" arrow becuase of string pinch.

Thanks for the replies. Never used one yet and was considering trying a string loop. But shooting a Carter Lokjaw 2000 with the wide jaw has never wore my serving. Just wondered.

I just got my TRU Ball Chappy Boss release on Wednesday. Shot it last night, I love it! I picked the chappy with the talon head with the string attached. I have always shot a standard caliper head release. What a difference!

Geeze, I feel like I must live in the dark ages. I use a caliper release and a eliminater button and have never had a problem with arrows falling off or excessive string/serving wear.
I only hunt and don't do any competitive shooting and I was led to understand that that loops shorten your true draw length thus reducing the amount of stored energy in the arrow.
