I like the leaches on my Matthews, and they do help quietit down.My last bow, an XI paragon would throw them off, so i tied them on with dental floss.

So my best bet is to get them installed as close to the cam and idler wheel as possible??? Right now I have those Tru Ball Spider Speed Silencers and they dont do a thing in terms of speed gain OR vibration/noise reduction, and they cost me close to $20 for them. If I decide to get leaches, does it matter if its the super leaches or regular leaches or anything? Thanks

I use them and like them. Ive used most all string silencers and like the leeches pretty well.

I removed my string silencers from my bowtech tribute because i installed an sts. Very quite, would recommend a sts highly, best accessory i've ever purchased.

My old bow had them on it and it helped a lot....It was noticeably quieter but not noticeably slower....but I mean not many of us can tell the difference between say 278 and like 274 fps....

Yea, it was definately mobo that lost some fps when he took off his string leaches. My opinion is that I would rather have quietness over speed anyday.
