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.

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