i just added a floating yoke to my patriot. it eliminated the need for any string silencers on my cable. i shoot a sts, and for whatever reason, with the floating yoke, i don't need any silencer on my string either, where i did with a static yoke. i just made a floating yoke for my neighbors extreme vft. it had the same effect on his. i don't know why. i know davec is also in the process of testing out the floating yoke on his patriot, so we'll see if it has any effect on his. but preliminary testing of 150-200 shots and i think the floating yoke and sts are it for me. it also makes the draw a lot smoother in both my neighbors and my opinion (and it looks cool)
