The first ones I ever saw were put on an old PSE (Firestorm -I think) and they made an incredible difference !! I had a Jennings Buckmaster(original) and tried a set of split limbs ......and they made a incredible difference. I bought a Mathews MQ-1 and put them on and they made a very minor (almost non existant) difference. I then had a Mathews Ultra 2 that just had a slight amount of vibration that I didn' t like........Limbsavers took it out. Now I have a Mathews LX and it doesn' t need them.........

long story longer........bow design will dictate their effectiveness !!

I am sure it is an unintentional benefit, but the limb savers on my Hoyt Cybertec provide me with an excellent item to wrap my rope around for lifting my bow into the treestand.

I tie a loop into the end of my rope and slip the loop over the limb saver. The rope slips wright into the groove. Very easy set up for lifting the bow to the stand.

My Hoyt is pretty quiet, but I may try the leaches. I wish the bow was not so heavy though. While heavy translates to steady, I may eventually try the vipertec if someone wants to buy my cybertec.

gold hunter, your not putting the rope around the rubber part of the limb saver are you? you should wrap the rope around the entire limb .

I was thinking the same thing. I have this vision of the limb saver coming off and seeing the bow crash 25ft.

Limbsavers do work well to quiet your equipment. My only complaint is that I have had several of them shoot off (come off while shooting).

Has anyone tried the new vibration dampeners from Alpine? They wrap around your limb and are held in place with heavy duty O-rings instead of being stuck on with adhesive. Would make it easy to take with you when switching bows.
