Proper placement of limbsavers?

[RodL]

I just purchased a pair of ultra limb savers designed for recurve bows. I would like some inpurt on where to put them on the limbs, I know they go on the underside of the limbs but not sure where. Thanks all

Try not to get them too far into the working area of the limbs. They really helped my old Pearson Cougar and my T/D recrve. Some people say they an't rell any difference. Once they are on it is really tough to peel the off so be sur of where you want them.

Right near the fades, do not put them too near the working part of the limb. I also must ask, why do you need them? Shawn

The reason that I purchased them was a friend of mine told we they would make a huge diffence in silencing the bow. I currently have hush puppies and bow hushes installed and my bow is very quiet and I thought that adding these could'nt hurt. Is there any drawbacks of using these?

No downside, but I'll be surprised if they make any difference if you've already installed hush & puppies.

I just put some on an old Bear recurve last night.  A friend who uses them recommended 9" from the tip of the limb.  I put them on because I have a little vibration that I can't seem to get out with string silencers and thought maybe it was the limbs doing the vibrating.  My friend uses them as insurance in case a nock blows up so I figured that was a good second excuse.  I haven't noticed much of a difference in the vibration so I guess it is the string after all.  Although they are ugly, I plan on leaving them on since they are there.

If you put them near the ends of the fade or limb wedges they will work fine and most times cause no loss in performance.If you only shoot real heavy arrows like some on this site do you might not notice much.If you shoot light arrows at times you will.They help keep vibrations in the limb from reaching your hand where you feel them.I also think it helps protect the limbs with real light weight arrows or in the case of dryfires.I use them on any recurve bow and on a couple of longbows that have been know to shoot arrows in the 7gn per lb range.

9" from the tip will likely hurt performance...if you don't notice anything, cool...but I'd work from the fades out...and not too far.
