Why would there be? The arrow is already gone by the time the string contacts the STS.

Of the bows I have tested with String Suppressors there is No speed lose. There can be a slight gain if you remove the string silencers and the Bow will still remain as quiet.

RE: speed and the STS

The silencing effect far outweighs any slow down. If there is any loss of speed, its not that noticeable to me.
