String silencers on Bowtech Bows
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?

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?

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?

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.
