OK, now......that's just cool!!!!!! Do they honestly work that well? I mean, I understand the concept, especially the idea of stopping the forward motion, but does it really take away the string and cable noise??

Heavy arrows up front, muskrat fur on the string to eliminate the already faint, "tunk".

Yes Mobowhntr it does work I put one on my XT and al though it was already quiet, it made even more quiet and i think I gained accuracy out of it also.

I've tried so many different ones I can't count them and it seems I always end up going back to the good old catwiskers.
I too went back to them after shooting with the string leeches last year, and IMO my bow is quieter with the wiskers, plus I think they look better.

My current bow came with bow jacks and they seem o.k. I tried the leeches but I thought they were trash. They certainly didn't last very long. I ended up going back to cat whiskers. When the bowjacks wear out I'll probably put the whiskers back on. Or try the STS.

I use string leeches and they work great! If you do though I woulddefinately serve them in and they will last much longer.
