Old habits really do die hard! TBM did a pretty comprehensive study about 4 years ago on string silencing and determined that Limb Savers were much more effective at the tips than at the fades. Adding any weight to the tips is heresy and I'm sure folks burned their mags and cancelled their subscriptions, but the actual measured speed loss was 1-2 fps. Coincidentally, this is where SIMS labs recommends placing them which is sort of intuitive as that's where all the limb movement is. No they're not traditional looking, but beauty is as beauty does. Not that wheelie bow shooters have a clue, but notice where they put them on those noisy contraptions? If you decide to use them at the limb tips,I can tell you from experience that you need to leave about 1" clearance from the braced string. If the string hits it, the saver will break off from the adhesive backing in short order. Also allow for room to unstring the top loop. To their credit, I've never had the adhesive damage a bow finish, but that may vary with finish.
