Release wear on bow string?

[catman529]

Should I be worried about the release mechanism wearing out the bow string? I hook it on just below the nocking point and want to make sure it's not going to suddenly snap the bow string one day. Obviously I'm a noob... thanks for any advice.

I put a loop on mine.It doesnt wear like it did without it.

it's never been a problem for me.

It never was a problem with me when I did it. I have used a loop for several years now.

Unless your release has a burr on it there shouldn't be a problem. There are some advantages IMO to a D-loop from the shooting side and not wearing on the bowstring.

might need to get me a loop, that was what I was thinking.

If you have never shot with a loop or messed with one and tie it on yourself. Be careful and make sure it will hold before you try and pull the bow back, or you will dang sure make sure you do on any you tie on from that point.

If you have a short axle bow the single jaw release will wear the bow string. You will need a loop or gator jaw type release.

If you get near the Smyrna area I will put one on for you. I have plenty of the D-loop string.
