RE: Does anybody use string whiskers anymore?
It's actually funny you brought this up. I've had my guardian for a month now and am on my third set of string silencers...
The Bowtech factory silencers lasted about a week before ripping apart. The string leeches I got to replace those lasted about 3 weeks. And, today, I went to have the string leeches replaced with something different hoping for a little more durability so I tried out some made by Fuse. Those things caused some nasty string noise so I had those taken off and replaced with whiskers which brought everything back to good. I'm thinking they'll last a lot longer.
So, after all that, yes I use the whiskers (as of today).

I had used Cat Whiskers with good results over the years . I switched to the Simms string silencers about 3 years ago . I took them off 2 weeks ago and went bact to the cat Whiskers .
