Default Limbsaver wrap?

Anyone use the limbsaver grip wrap?? Does help with vibration and shock? Noise?

Does absolutely nothing for noise and vibration.....Most guys I know use them to fatten up the grip and customize it a little, to fit them better and make it more comfortable.

Tennis racket tape does the exact same thing, at a fraction of the cost.

I value my bows purty looks too much for those ugly wraps. LOL Plus Hoyt's grips fit me very well.

I have it on one bow for the very best reason there is. I removed the grips to get a narrower grip. I then used the wrap for one reason only. It keeps the cold from the metal riser from freezing your dang hand in cold weather. It really does a great job of that.

never thought of that...and it seems like a good idea. Thats the only thing i dont like about bowhunting cold weather....how cold my bow hand gets. Im thinking of putting that little limbsaver rubber strip on the front of my riser this year to block the cold metal.

That's what I've got on mine. Works pretty well. Doesn't mess with the feel of the grip, but blocks some of the cold.

Moleskin kind of acts as a cold buffer too.

Moles are way to hard to catch though.[&:]
