RE: Question about bowtech.
Anthony... yes, you can remove those if they're not to your tastes and put on Sims Limbsavers or anthing else you want. BowTech had simply found that just about every new purchaser of a bow (regardless of which manufacturer they were buying from) installed limbsavers or something of the like, so they came out with those already installed as a "value-add" to save their customers from having to go out and purchase another $20-30 of vibration-reducing items.
They work quite well, actually.
