Not blowing smoke.. They are really coming out with them. I heard it on one of these BBS and e-mailed them and it was confirmed. They SHOULD be out sometime this summer. And honestly I don't know how many shots they will last they just said "significantly longer."

The new Sims String leeches should be out real soon. kevlar should last a long time....depends on how much they have in them & stuff like that. I will give them a try once I see a pack out just for the heck of it. I'll post a review once I get a set. For now cat whiskers work fine for me.

what exactly are cat whiskers? Is that a name brand? Or what are some brands of them? Are they cloth or rubber or some of each?


I just updated my website. Go check it out. I have big bucks, paintings, my drawings and more. Sign the guestbook while there.

Leeches by Simms
Put them on before you go hunting, and they should last you long enough. If your shooting 1000 shots a week....why do you need silencers?
That said, Alpine has a version of the leeches made out of some silicon concoction

For simplcity's sake, Mic, catwhiskers are the same as a spinner bait skirt. Matter of fact, that's what I use. You can get them in lots of different colors at a good bait shop.

Romans 8:28

I never heard of putting Catwiskers through the string.
I use either thread of a nock point to tie/clamp the catwisker to the string and then pull it apart just like making a spinnerbait.
I never have snow or ice problems.(I live and hunt in Ohio and we have plenty of both <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> ) No string damage because the wisker is around, not through and easy to replace in the field.

My 2 cents worth

The string leeches are a good product in my opinion. They dont last a long time, but, they dont reduce speed as much as cat whiskers and others do. I have seen cat whiskers take as much as 10 fps off of some bows regardless of where you position them on the string. That kind of speed loss is quite significant in my opinion. The leeches will only dock you 1 or 2 fps.

Has anyone tried the &quot;string things&quot; from Alpine Archery? Looks like they could be an answer. Curious about them myself.

yea. has anyone tried the string thing???? it looks pretty good to me..

small but deadly

Looks like I'll have to spend some money and get these Alpine things for a field test. Then I can post and say what my findings are. Alpine is coming out with some very innovative stuff lately IMO.
