I to0ok all the string leeches off my bows and shooting naked string other than string loop.I was shooting in the yard and one came off and hit below my eye! Thats all it tookm for me! I heard some cat whiskers will work for noise real well just trim them down to .50 cent diameter and will help.I also slid the limb dampners all the way down the limbs,haven't noticed any extra limb shock yet.
