I bought a couple of STS string silencers and guys you cannot believe how quiet my Exocet 200 is with my Xcel string and cat whiskers! I can now hear the arrow holding arm ring on the shot. I just got an email from someone who has on on his Exocet and he said he could hear the arrow hit his buck at twenty yards!
A couple of notes. One, if you don't want to shoot the bow with the STS then you have to remove the shole thing, bracket and all. Otherwise you'll cut your string off. Two, the brace height is at it's highest mark and can be lowered by only a quarter inch.
If the pads/cushions//stoppers/EDSs only last fifty shots I will be happy. I will only have them on to hunt.
