RE: do you thinks these work
i knew someone here had success with them...
didnt you have to use several of them greg?? i remember someone here saying it was a PIA and they had to use something like 11 or 12 of them placed JUST right but they did work...
the thing i never got was why do you loose so much speed with stuff on the middle of the string..likc nock, loop, peep etc..but gain, or not loose so harshly from things toward the cams.
mo...does that mean im going to LOOSE speed with my reflex when i have a new string made and put on??? that would be terrible..i am going to ask for my old string and disect it...i dont believe you
lol..i always heard id more than likely gain speed with a new string since they are made better and more twists or strands or somethin i dont know lol

Like I said, I took off my factory installed string silencers and LOST 7 fps.

Do they work? Sometimes.
they reduce the vibration/oscillation of the string, so how much they work really depends on the bow and arrow combination and setup. 12 fps is a huge jump, I've more likely been in the 3-5 fps range.
They do however quiet the string down, again depending on the bow. I use to shoot a PSE Mach-8 that was noticeably quieter with them on. I now have a Hoyt ultra-tec and isn't nearly as noticable.
