Exactly. And... as an added benefit, I like the fact that I can remove whatever hush kit or leeches is on the string and have nothing but my tied-in nocksets, d-loop and peep on the string -- and I feel I am JUST as quiet as I am with leeches on the string.
I got a brand new '08 Guardian in a few days ago, and the first thing I did before even setting it up was to screw in the MeanV suppressor I had just got in for it and cut off the hush kit on the string. Super-quiet, and picked up a foot or two per second in the process.
Dan, I'm sure that you've tested this, what's your opinion removing string silencers to gain speed? I see from your web site that you left them on your bow.
Most cut them off. I usually slide them out against the speed nocks. Any speed lose is minimal. I doubt it would make any difference in noise if I took them off. Most I talk to claim they can tell no difference in noise with or without string silencers. There are other benefits to String Suppressors than thenoise reduction they offer, but that is a big one, and I like Quiet!
