I love the MeanV suppressor I've got. Beautiful camo job, custom fit, and it works like a charm. I can see one on whatever bow I own even if they have their own version.

Regardless of who thought of the concept first, it is a great product that has take the idea close to perfection.

Atlas dude you never cease to amaze me.....[:-]

I've got one on my Tribute. Awesome product and the best string suppressor on the market IMO. Fit and finish is impeccable too and the matching camo looks like it was made by Bowtech. Dan was a professional to deal with and my goofy airhead wife(I luv you dear, but really sometimes......well) mailed him CASH!!! WTF was she thinking?????

BTW; Henry Ford got the car rolling but it took Chevrolet to perfect it. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.[8D]

Atlas,

As somebody who has owned BOTH the original STS and the MeanV Custom Supressor, I think I am qualilfied to compare the two.

I had a front mount STS on my Hoyt and I had nothing but problems with it. First, the rod was not the correct size, so I had to get out my hacksaw and cut it down. Then the small set screw that attached the rod wouldn't stay put. The screw would loosen and the rod would move. So I had to use Loc Tite to get it to function. Finally, I had to buy a smaller stabilizer because the big mounting block changed the balance of my bow slightly. Also, since the rod attached to the mounting block off to the side of the riser instead of inline like the MeanV, there was a slight tourque force applied to my bow every time the string hit the suppressor. I could feel my bow wanting to twist a bitin my hand every shot. Not to mention, the original STS with it's mounting block and all black color looked like crap on my bow.

I sold my Hoyt and got a new bow with a rear mount stabilizer hole to accomodate the Mean V suppressor. I measured, ordered, and installed the MeanV with no trouble. I didn't have to do any cutting, I didn't need lock tite, and it WORKED BETTER. The suppressor is in line with the riser, so there is no torque like there was on the original STS. And the custom camo finish looks flawless. It looks like it was installed at the factory. Not only does the Mean V look better, it WORKS MUCH better than the "Original".

I remember the inventor of the original STS saying on Archerytalk that MeanV's design would never work because all of his "testing" said that the mounting block was necessary. He said that Mean V's design would result in stripped threads. That has NOT happened. I've had mine for over a year and I've fired thousands and thousands of shots with ZERO problems.

I've owned both, and there is NO comparison. MeanV's is hands down a better product. It works better, it looks better, and it's priced more attractively considering what you get for the money.

So am I wrong to not use the original STS, when the Mean V looks and works so much better?

Looking forward to reviewing the Meanv supressor too as I have the original STS also and did find the same problems as you mentioned. Nothing a little LOCTite didn't fix and also I had to put a serving on my cable so that the supressor didn't wear out the cable,which in turn took away 5 fps. Do you know if Dans needs the added serving,I forgot to ask[>:]. Thanks
Rocky

RE: Got my Mean V string suppressor and...
 

I've never heard of anyone having to serve the cable. My cables do not touch my MeanV suppressor. Some people will serve the string where it contacts the rubber stopper, but I didn't. I just kept it waxed and my string didn't show any excess wear in that area. That's after over 1 year of shooting the same string.

RE: Got my Mean V string suppressor and...
 

I always reccomend serving the area that contacts the Suppressor. I just think it's cheap insurance.

I've had a lot of people tell me the same thing, but I still play it safe.

Dan

RE: Got my Mean V string suppressor and...
 

Yes, Matt I do. I haven't found the length to be an issue. I worried about the same thing when I bought it, but any stand that I would have problems with cam clearance with a bow that is 4 to 5 inches shorter than my Commander, is no stand for me. I hunt out of a lot of hang on stands and I make sure that I have trimmed the necessary limbs outof the way. I love the bow. Solid shooting bow. I only wish I could do it justice.:D

just got my meanv on my alley THANKS DAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Got my Mean V string suppressor and...
 

I mean I google string suppressors and this is what comes up three links down.... Really I just spent the last hour reading this thread from half a year ago... Heck I almost feel obligated to buy a Mean V now, since I'm so vested in them time wise...haha Well not that anyone is going to read this, this thread has to be one of the older ones still on the site, but with that said it is certainly one of the more interesting and heated threads I've read since I've been a member on this site.... And Mean V for what's it is worth, I will be placing my order soon.... Sorry Atlas, eight months later and your comment is still selling suppressors for the Mean V... Funny how something meant to bebad can turn into to something good for decent people. Mean V don't know ya, just assuming by how many people spoke up for you that ya can't be to bad of a guy.... Or atleast thats the character testwe use on somebody down here in South Mississippi... Will be takin to you soon.

RE: Got my Mean V string suppressor and...
 

If anyone really ripped off STS think there would have been a bunch of lawsuits. There are like 10 different ones on the market now not to mention just about every bow company out there now is putting them on their bows.

Dan sure makes some nice ones. The camo matches great too!
