Anyone ever ask his or herself: Why does my bow need components that dampen vibration, shock, noise, protect the bow and components from damage, etc, more than was ever required in the past?
Lots of today's bows are developing very large amounts of stored energy for faster speeds and greater kinetic energy, some of which is not transfered into some of today's lighter arrows. Heavier arrows do a good job of quieting any bow. Quote,, "more than ever required in the past" Limb Savers weren't invented back in 1960 but if they would have been available then,,, they would have sold lots.
