Grey, they do for your traditional bow exactly what they do for your wheeled rigs.
Arrowsmit, I don' t know if I will ever take them off either! I put them on last Sat. and shot a quick round and I could hardly believe I was shooting the same bow! I was absolutely amazed at the difference they made. Strangely enough, aside from all the noise/vibration reduction, my groups seemed to have tighted up a little bit, may have been my imagination though as it had been a few days since getting out and I was totally relaxed. What do you think? And you are right, they are ugly as anything I have seen on a recurve, but I have had them on my compound (that I don' t seem to have time for anymore

) for the last few years and after a while it seems like they are just part of the bow. I am sure this will occur eventually with my ' curve as well, it may just take a little longer to adjust. My only complaint is that I can feel just a little more weight in my bow than there used to be, but I will cope

.
I would have to certainly say that if anyone can deal with mounting the mushrooms on your bow, do it, you will enjoy the benefits!
