Has it really helped you? I am thinking about getting one for my bow. Tell me the pro and cons you have with it. I am thinking about getting it and a cable slide dampener.

I think String Suppressors are one of the best bang for your bucks out there regardless of which string suppressor you use. I get calls everyday from guys telling me how much a difference the suppressor made in their bow. Quieter, less hand shock, and takes away any worries about hitting that coat sleeve, etc.

Here's a pic of the one I make on my Guardian

They are simply amazing. We put them on Trykons, (and any other bow that doesn't have one, I just used that as an example) and it's like shooting a different bow. Yes, they make an incredible difference.

Dan, here's your chance.......What makes your supressor better than others on the market?

mobow, I don't think I have ever said mine were better. All string suppressors are very similar in performance. It's mostly what you like the looks of. I do like my new stopper I started using late last year. I feel the rings molded in make the thump softer over hitting a flat surface,and it still does what it is intended to do. I don't make a front mount, but I do sell several of the front mount STS's in black $39.95 TYD and also offer camo dipping. The rear mounts I offer in black and I think 10 different camo patterns. I need to update the website as we have added a few patterns.

My units average 2 1/4 ounces, and the front mount STS weighs 3 1/2 ounces.

I apologize for making that sound like a smart allick, Well why is yours better?? remark. That's not how I intended it.....Maybe I should have worded it differently. I should have asked to be sold on it, what would make a person get the MeanV supressor over an STS, or any of the others on the market. What makes yours stand out.

But you answered those in your post. Again, if that sounded like a smart arse comment, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to have to defend yourself.
