BTW, I have tried them, the felt pads for X bow string version. Did absolutely nothing to reduce noise on my Equinox. It did slow the string down so I was getting 5-10 fps slower (chroned, not estimate). And they were a devil to keep in place on my factory string (not Flemish) I even tried tying them on but they were off in less than 10 shots. Perhaps that bow was too powerful (225 draw weight) perhaps they would stay on better on a Flemmish srting. Whatever, given the lack of noise reduction I quit exprimenting.
