Now that I'm getting the bang bangs fitted up I can move on to this....

Wasn't sure if this really belonged in the "Hunting" section or the "Help me Decide" section, so here goes.

I've recently bought a RudderBows Archery hickory longbow. Rated 40# @ 28", 45# @ 30", with 2-3# stack after 1/2" more draw. My draw is around 31". I want to kill things with this, mostly whitetail, but definitely wanna kill things!
I've never shot it, no arrows yet. Only played around with it trying to work up my shoulder strength to hold it at draw. If you didn't know already, longbows and recurves are NOTHING like compounds! 45# feels like 60#+.

So, does anyone have experience with them? Is it ok to use a D loop and trigger release? I don't want the string to roll. I want to quiet the bow, I want it to shoot straight and fast.

ANY input/info will help!
