CWB

One of the Bowtech string silencers (part of the hush kit) broke and fell of my string on my Pro 40 DC the first week I owned it. I noticed it shot faster without it, but the string had a twang to it. I was thinking about trying some Sims stealths silencers, has anyone tried these on their Bowtechs? Do they work as good as factory silencers? What about speed, will I pick any speed up changing to the Sims?

CWB, I like the Leeches better. I didn' t chrono before & after, so can' t comment on speed differences.

Same here. The leeches seemed to work better on the one bow that I switched them on. There was a slight speed increase as well... 2-3 fps.

I' m kinda in the same boat. I haven' t shot my hush kitted bow much yet. But I am leary on taking the string silencers off as they look very durable.
When you put the string leeches in, does it mess up your peep rotation?

On my Solo Pat I have just one leach near the cam. This bow is SUPER quite.

Don' t think you need two

DaveC

That' s good to know.
What grain arrow are you shooting to be SUPER quiet with only one string leech?

Rack-attack

70# 29" Draw, 385 grn arrow.

The top leach flew off a few weeks ago, Just left the bottom one on and I cannot tell any diff.

That throws the heavy weight arrow theory out of the picture.

RA,

For some reason I remember reading something about only having one leech installed changing POI on someone' s setup. Did you experience this when you lost the one leech?

Rack-attack

PAB - I have used one leach or one wisker before. never noticed any diff. in POI - but when you shoot like me whats to notice

I have to hand it to BowTech, though I have had my " issues" with them - they are quite. Your right, even with a light setup - not much noise.

The other day I was shooting 45 yds lights out. Even took a few pictures of some groups[:-]. Felt like I couldn' t miss the 5-spot even if you kicked me. Gotta love those days. The bow shoots well.

question: I left the cable silincers on. Hase anyone noticed a diff in sound with them off??? I cant see them doing much. Just don' t feel like going through the hassle of taking them off to see.

walks with a gimp

On my ' 02 Pat single I use cat whiskers on my string and cables and serve them in place instead of tying them on. That bow is scary quiet!!!!
