There was a slow motion video on a thread a couple of weeks ago showing what happens when the string hits the stop. If the rubber ever comes off and the string hits the metal bar I don't want to be the one holding the bow. It was very violent. I don't want one on my bow. Does any one have that link for the video.
And if the wings fall off the plane, it will crash. I don't wan't to ride in a plane.
Honestly, that is sort of defeatest thinking. If the limbs fail, you wouldn't wanna be the one holding the bow either but you still shoot. Face it, compound bows operate under great stress, if any of a number of things malfunction, it's not going to be fun. (I watched the limbs on an old Mathews Featherlite break while the tech was drawing the bow at my proshop the other day.... I was about 5 feet away. scary)
I choose instead to focus on the good things a product does for me instead of concentrating on the remote chance of a malfunction.
EDIT: even after hundreds of shots on my STS (same model as in the video), the rubber piece isn't even the tiniest bit loose.
