RE: Tips for making you're String Leeches last
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>The only downfall is, as all of you have pointed out, the longevity. So how long during hunting season do you need them to last? You after all only need 8-10 shots depending on what bag limits and how many species you hunt. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>
Anyone who bow hunts from 30 to 90 days without practicing is inviting disaster. I shoot at least a couple hundred shots/ week during the season. Pretty darn frustrating when the product won't last through a bow season. My solution has been to take the catwiskers and cut them to 1/2" in length after they are installed. I put them on the string and the cable. At this length they make no noise and seem to keep the bow as quiet as the leeches, maybe even more so. So, for a couple bucks, I've got quiet, longevity and I can keep practicing without worrying about the darn things falling off.
