Ok, this is my second post tonight.....man, I must be bored.

While at the shop the other night (see other post) I decided to tear off my other string leach. I've been shooting with them on, but the top blew off and other was hangin in there.So, with 3D here, why not pick up a couple FPS. With both off, I took a shot. To my amazement, this bow is actually quieter now than with them both on. A dull thud, thats pretty much it.This is out of a 07 Allegiance set at 66lbs. The only things on my string now are a Tru Peep and a loop. Arrow weight at the time was 370gr.

My question is, how many of you shoot a bare string with an STS? I'm not sure why this thing is quieter. My guess is that without the added wieght of the silencers on the string, there is less oscillation at the shot.
