I had a pro tie mine and it came loose. Food for thought.

Never used, but asked guy at pro shop I used. Was told it was noisey and release has hard time when icy. Also that take couple feet away from speed. Just what I heard
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me

I may not have alot but what I have I got honest.....

I'd rather be hated for what I am then be loved for what I'm not

Is it me, or are people getting dumber

if you ever happen to slap your arm with your string (which most people tend to do) it can and will cut your arm up

:yeah: lots of times "pros" arent really pros. if a pro tied your loop it wouldnt have come undone. i take time to do things right on my bow. i have never met a "pro" that would take the time to do anything as anal retentive as i would on my bow. thats why no-one touches it but me.

Look at the arrow ....that pic is dated, when those first came out, like the string loop, they were originally intended to adress peep rotation.  That is one of the first products introduced that was meant to eliminate the tubing to peep BS.  There used to be a slo-mo video floating around that  showed one of those flailing around after the arrow was released.  String loops flail alot too, but are not as inherently dangerous as a piece of metal flailing out of control.  It was soon after the introduction of several similar products that the string loop/D-loop came into existance.......now the choice of many...........I still shoot off the string, and consider that my best option.  To each his own.

I use to use one of those metal ones on my mathews. After shooting the string travels so far forward that I was getting dings in the rollers guides for the cables. Took it in to the pro shop and and he asked who put that thing on there. I told him that he had a year ago and he replaced it with a string loop. No problems since. I never had any slipping problems with the metal one and it was to straighten the string without using the rubber tube on your peep. Hope that helps some. ;)

so what i am hearing is the main reason folks don't use these is because of the string hitting the rest or something after shooting. well whet if you are using a string suppressor? that stops the string from moving forward....would that stop that?

I just can't figure out why anyone would want to use one of these. As I said before tying your own d loop is not rocket science. Its probably one of the easiest thing to do when setting up a bow.

Go ahead and try it. See if you shoot well with it. You might have something that works for you and you might not. Only one way to find out!
