D ring or String loop?

[stilllearning]

Which is your preference the String loop or the D ring?

That is if you were going to use one or the other.

I like a string loop. I have tried both and a D Ring just seem too inflexible. Just doesn't feel right.

String loop...

Good question SL I have been thinking about this too and I believe that the loop is the better all around. It's lighter, quieter and less wear & tear on the release. I think that I am going to give one a try

I need to ask another favor.
someone showed me this thread on another site as to how to tie in a string loop. Can you take a look and tell me if this is the right way please? I realy value the opinions on this site. It makes sense but I want to make sure before I try.

Kind of fuzzy pic SL, but shows the correct way!!

OK that is exactly what I was wondering. So the extra .......... serving material tied on in the other post is NOT nessaceary at all.

Thanks Lockmaster. I am going to have to try and get this done this weekend.

Hi! Hey some points that might be of interest. string D loop is easier on your string and you can see if there is any wear; whereas the metal D-loop can wear your string and you won't know it. the pic shows a pretty good string loop, but when I tie 'em I tie with one knot facing right and one knot facing left so that the loop actually crosses the string and doesn't just pull on one side of the string. Melt the ends of the loop material (4.5" long works pretty well) and then press the melted end against your lighter to flatten the molten ball out and create a stop for the knot.
