Default Loop or nock, which is faster?

I should be getting my new RazorTec in this week. I have all of my accessories ready to go, but need some assistance on whether or not to use a loop.

This bow is for hunting. I shoot a 28-1/2" draw length. So the question is would it be faster and easier to shoot 28-1/2" with two nocks above and a rubber cushion below the arrow or shoot 28" with a loop?

I am thinking speed may be almost a wash, but do those of you using a loop find it harder to get your release on the loop when the big moment comes. I have always shot off the string, so I am looking for your thoughts.

Thank You,

UpNorth

I' ve done it both ways also, the loop is the way to go.
I' ve had no problem getting my release on while practicing or hunting situations. I use a rope release. You' ll find your bow easier to tune with a loop, I was able to tighten up my groups as well. My guess is that you might be talking a couple feet per sec. gain with the loop over the other method. elknut1.

I shot from the string for over thirty years and tried a loop for the first time this past hunting season. Loved it. With practice it becomes second nature, no problem.
