Do metal D loops any good?
A metal D-loop is an ok emergency replacement when you’re out hunting or in a comp, you can attach it in less than 30 seconds. They are also unable to be severed by a mishandled broadhead (however given that the string is in higher danger of this anyway, this is less of an issue).

There is probably a slight burr or nick inside the jaws that is causing the fraying. Hopefully that will cure your problem. If it doesn’t you probably will have to buy a new release.

Choose a mark above the bottom line of the gauge for the top nocking point. This will define where your arrow sits on the string and it will take time – and tuning – to find the perfect place. A good place to start is 3/16ths of an inch, or about 5mm, up.
What is a Torqueless D loop?
The torqueless loop is a more recent style of loop used that hasn’t gained a lot of attention yet. The idea is to have a loop that can be twisted in any direction without applying torque to the bowstring. More about these loops, how to tie and install them can be found in the torqueless loop article.
How often should I replace my D loop?
