string silencers

[BUCKY]

anybody use string leeches?

[jrstegner]

Yes. They work great. I chronographed my bow with an 8125 string with no silencers, and then again with the string leeches and could not tell a differece in speed. They seem to work at least as well as cat whiskers, if not better in noise reduction. The main issue I have with them is the cost and their durability. I have had to replace them several times this year. I'll probably revert to using whiskers again due to the cost of replacing them.

shot my bow with them today and i really like them. i think i'll be staying with these.

They work very well, but they don't last.

i hear the new super leeches last longer. how long do most of you get out of them?

[Matty]

I use them all the time they work awesome.  Every once in a while i touch them with corn oil to keep them from drying out. I get 6-8 mos. out of them.  Water proof small and they WORK

I have used them and they work fine,they hold up better on an endless loop.Flemish twist will cut them in half after some shooting.

Hey George, I've been using them for a few seasons now and love them. I use the "cable leech", they are much smaller and do just as good a job. I keep hearing folks say that a flemish string will cut them in half but I've never had that happen.

I tried them too. I really liked how well they workedm however, mine were about cut in half after about 4 months. At their price, I didn't want to replace them 3-4 times a year, so I went to the Hush Puppies and Bow Hush combo-----my bow is quieter than its ever been and i've tried several silencer systems at all different prices.

I don't think any deer is going to hear anything coming when i drop the string!
