RE: Does an STS=no need for string silencers.
I found with my Allegiance that with a STS the bow had a higher pitch to it with the stock string silencers. So, i took them off. I've even sampled with putting cat whiskers on and found they did nothing tomake the bow more quiet than it was with just the STS.
However, I know someone that took his silencers off and it made the bow louder.
