Limb savers...do they really work?
« on: July 11, 2007, 12:52:00 AM »
After shooting mostly longbow for the past year, I'm having trouble adjusting to the noise of a recurve. It's not string slap, more vibration than anything I think. Will limbsavers help this? I'm not real wild about the look, but I guess I could get used to it if they really help.

They work great.  You will be able to tell a huge dirference.  I just saw some that are shaped like an arrow head and camo colors. I have the old ones that still work great.  Worth the $$$$.

They do a tremendous job on bows with excessive limb noise.  Hard to beat. dino

We were just talking about this on the "mushroom silencer" thread. They work great. As a matter of fact I just put a small pair on a Morrison that I love, but could not make hunting quiet no matter what I tried. I put 2 small ones on at the fades and bingo. I may try the larger ones on it now just to see if it makes a bigger difference, but my guess is the small ones will be enough.

I have them on all of my hunting bows and they are wonderful...well worth the money IMO.

The work well-just keep them near the fadeouts and away from the "working" part of the limbs as they will effect performance if you install them closer to the tips as suggested on the limbsaver package. I install mine per the DAS instructions-basically 3 inches from the point where the limbs abd riser meet.

I never used them, however, I do use the Great Northern strap on quiver.  I put the straps on the fadeouts and it seems to quiet a bow as well.  Maybe the same idea, just with a quiver instead of a little "mushroom"?
