i have a double sts and it works great, but i had no idea that a shot was that violent. I am going to keep mine on for now.

A bow while in the motion of shooting is extremely violent....STS or not. I guess until I start hearing negative comments from having one on, I'll still shoot with it. It has done wonders to my bow for noise and hand shock.

Looking at that video it only adds more stress to the string at the point of contact with the STS. Instead of the string being stressed along its entire length evenly the STS creates a point of higher stress right where it makes contact with the string.

There are enough stresses on a bow and string at the shot with out the need to add some more.
