LimbSavers on bow

[sndmn11]

i have them on the fadeouts of a recurve and think that they really help a lot...and if you don't like them you can just pull them off.

You can find at a wheelie store or a big out door store. Bbassi I was talking about the string not the limbs(those do last a long time).BobW they also make bowjakes for limbs to,sorry to get off the subject I thought he was talking about strings. Thanks for listening.

If you wonder if they're making a difference shoot it for a month or two and take them off...what a difference they do make.  This is in regards to compounds (the only place I've used them).  I used them for two years and had one break...it was on a split limb compound and I finished up the rest of the round with them off, what a difference.

For traditional I haven't used them yet and yes I'm sure they'd work great.  I just don't know if I want them on the sleek lines of a traditional bow...longbow or recurve.  They're not too expensive so I could give them a try and see but I have to figure out if they’ll work with a strap on quiver since they’re strapped on about the same place the limbsaver are generally placed.

If I didn't shoot with a quiver on the bow I'd probably already have tried them out.

Again thanks for all the post and keep them coming.  

Anyone use them with a strap on quiver?

yes i have. on a take down i had the limb savers on the fadeout and the quiver up against the riser...didn't really think twice about it.

"Those things must weigh an ounce or two each. Seems to me they add a lot of mass to the limbs. Has anyone ever determined if and by how much they reduce bow performance?"

If you place them at the fadeouts, there is no loss of performance whatsoever.  If you put them on the working part of the limb the loss increases the further out toward the tip you go.

I've used them before and they do work. I put them just past the fades. I don't have any on my current bows though.
