Thanks Dan, very interesting. In just my basic way of theorizing things it would seem that the follow through of the string pushing an arrow on forward with no suppressor would allow higher speeds, but no!!!! In all actuality I am guessing that upon reaching brace that the string launching an arrow has reached its full potential. Sounds like to me with the proper suppressor and placed at optimum position that a suppressor can help suppress noise and vibration while not sacrificing performance. My opinion anyway.
My chrono testing on suppressors on or offthe bow had virtually no change in speed also. I think they really help in reducing string slap with hunting clothing,, which,, is the most important shot of the year anyway.
Funny that they have been around for a long time in one fashion or another and now they are VERY much mainstream essentials for compound bows..
They work!
