So what did we do before they came out with those? I've been shooting for 40 years, and I stand behind what I said... if you popping your hand your shooting the wrong draw lenght or you have really crappy form. I've never had a problem without them. If the cable would travel two inches past a surpressor, the you would split the rubber end of the surpressor.
If you have a problem with string buzz then you need to put on good string silencers.
