RE: Bowtech owners...supressor question.
ORIGINAL: bowtechben
I just talked to Rob on the phone, he says that the Left handed models should, as you hold it like you would shoot it, be a string length to the right of the center of the V in the short stop. and the RH models should be opposite. He says that as the bow is shot the string travel will take it to the center if it is set up like this. Meaning, that if you lined it up in the center before the shot, when you shoot, it will end up off to the left in the short stop.

Well, he was in Cancun for a week, then he has just been hunting and working. Last night we took a ride up to my cabin and then a walk around his prop. We saw a hen at my cabin and jumped a few deer at his.

RE: Bowtech owners...supressor question.
I was wondering this myself. When I first got my General the supressor was slightly to the left of my strings ( I am right-handed). I decided to move it to center and it shoots great now.

so in the resting state, the string should be about 1/16" or 1/8" from touching the shortstop, just like any other sting stop right.....

If it's one thing I've learned in 40+ years of shooting bows there are very few things wrote in stone. While some things no doubt work for the bigger % it may not be ideal for Everyone.
Some guys swear by string suppressors just touching while others say they need to be a credit card thickness away from the string.
Bottom line, just because it works for you or even works for most, doesn't make it wrong for someone else if they have their rig set different.
It never hurts to try something different, but don't hesitate to go back to the way something works best for YOU!

im good on the offset, just wondering on the resting distance, to maybe prolong the life of the rubber insert.
thanks, guys.
