New to compound and want to shoot fingers

Hi I've been shooting recurve for last 5 years and have always wanted a try at compound, we're can't hunt legally with a bow over here (scotland UK) so we shoot at animal tagets set-up in woodland conditions (please stop laughing).Anyway I've got a PSE hunting compound on it's way to me from the states But I think I'd be better of staying with fingers (as I don't want to waste all that recurve time) but the bow has a string loop on the string. Is it safe to shoot with this on the string or might it get stick on my tab and injure my hand? Sorry if I'm in the wrong forum all replies appreciated or links to more info

    Welcome to the forum. Just take the string loop off the string. There is no need for it if you're shooting fingers. Carefully cut it with a sharp knife or a razor blade. Just be vary careful not to nick the main string. I've taken mine off and replace it every year.
