noise/vibration help?
How can I furthur reduce vibration from my limbs, I have limbsaver ultras on them but am still getting some vibraton. Sometimes there isn't any, and then several shots later I might be getting more vibration, and then several shots later no vibration. Is this normal. Shouldn't the limbsavers work all the time. Any insight on what I can do to help fix this would be appreciated[:-]

RE: noise/vibration help?
Are you positive the vibration is coming from the limbs? My quiver bracket gets loose sometimes and causes erratic vibrations like you mention.
I would check every bolt on your bow and its accessories to make sure everything is snug. Also, the way I grip the bow makes a difference (at least to me) on the amount of heard and felt vibration. Is your grip consistent?
Good luck!

Check the tightness of the "e" clips on the axle ends. If one is vibrating it can be a come and go noise.
If you are shooting a bow with a draw length module check to make sure the bolts are tight and you might as well add some lock-tite (blue) while your at it.
Good luck with it.

I've heard SO much praise about the STS System, but I can't follow that 'piper'.
I've done some testing on it. Although I've found some positive results in shock and vibration dampening, I've found increases in string noise and cases where the tune is totally disrupted. These incidents seem to occur as the poundage increases to average hunting poundage and above.
I've had these problems verified by others trying to sell this product. Funny thing is, I appear to be the ONLY one on every forum that I visit to post any negative information.
I'm approaching this product with skepticism.

If you are shooting a relatively light arrow, you could increase your arrow weight. I have not had any tuning issues with the STS thus far, but it does seem to increase string noise just a bit. It definitely illiminates all vibration and shock on my Liberty.

Len, just curious, how is it that only one person says this? because I have yet to buy one and do not want to be disappointed. everyone says it reduces everything all around and does not affect the bow. I'd be interested in hearing what tests were performed, on what equipment, and that sort of thing. purely for the data aspect of it, plus my forty bucks.
