Default How many string silencers do you use?

Shot my new Reflex Grizzly today and was pleased with it. My only criticism is the string vibration. I have 2 string leaches on it already but was wondering if anybody also puts them on the others cables? Also I have a tube type peep which I suspect is noisy but the kid in the pro shop said my bow has a low end string and would likely not stabilize a tubeless peep properly. Just bought the bow don't really want to drop another 100 bucks on a new string so I can change peeps over. Or am I kidding myself about silencing a relatively cheap bow down to where a high end one operates? I thought there were virtually no vibrations coming from the riser and was impressed with that.

Terry!

I just sent you an e-mail ,I'm sure the tube might have something to do with your string noise ,but i really never noticed it too much till after we had the problem with your cable gaurd.

I guess Gibblet has let the cat out of the bag on where I'm getting my string's and cable's ,maybe he'll cut you a good deal there Terry so we better take him hunting with us sometime soon EH!
Gibblet I'm sure we can arrange for you to come on a hunt with us ,you just need to let me know when you want to do it ,and we'll get the gear's in motion.

Just the stock stuff on my OG, and it is quieter than a mouse fart.
