I really like the leeches. Do you have the old style or the new ones? The older ones didn't seem to last long for me, I even went back to whiskers for a while, but the new ones really seem improved. I have had the sames ones on now for about four months, and they seem to be going strong. But, I tie them in. It's real easy, if you need help let me know.

I wouldn't suggest putting in more twists in your string if your bow is already tuned.
