Default What if any performance upgrades to add to my Bowtech

I have been runing quite a few arrows through my 07 Bowtech Allegiance (purchased new about 2 months ago)and was wondering if there are any performance upgrades that you would all recc. like string suppresors, cable slides etc. or if I should just leave well enough alone. I am very happy with things now but I am comparing things to my really old bow.

A meanV string suppressor would be a fantastic upgrade. I have one on my Allegiance.

Buckeye, did the addition primarily add stealth.

What #-age are you shooting?

You may not NEED a string suppressor.

60-70 range set at 65 lbs. I had originally intended to adjust it to 70 after a while but I am now thinking of just leaving it, I have plenty of speed and enjoy the lighter draw.

I bought the commander from Ben on here and it came with the Mean V suppressor, I took it off and shot it a bit and yes it quietens your set up. My commander wasn't loud without it but it was quieter with it...
I also just bought a guardian and when I get back to the states it too will get a Mean V supressor on it...

I’d put some sort of suppressor on it regardless of poundage. IMO those things can’t be beat for further deadening noise/vibration.

THE reason I said what I did, Ryan....is a comment MOTOWN made a while back. He told someone to shoot their bow at 250fps and not worry about silencing th ebow at that #-age. I may shoot 60#'s this fall.....and it just makes sense that less #-age = less string noise.

While I'm certain it could be deadened even further......at lower #-ages it may be a moot (no pun intended) point. For example....I'm not sure how much "deader" my longbow could be (at 50#'s) with a string suppressor on it. The beaver balls seem to do the trick, just fine.

That was all.....
