Let me tell you... I used the trophyline strap for 2 years and I was pretty good at it. But the rope style is immeasurably better. It's like upgrading from a homemade recurve to a brand new hoyt carbon matrix. There are so many benefits! It takes a tenth of the time to install, it's way more simple to install, it's way lighter, it's easier to make adjustments after the fact. Believe me, you won't regret upgrading.
