RE: Still dealing with Kisser issues!!!
Wis Bow Hunter, when I bought the bow at the shop we went through 4 kissers in about 6 shots! They were blowing right off the string. I found that the really soft ones work better that the hard plastic ones. I really don't mind loosing a few fps if I can hit where Im aiming. I am used to it and I shoot better with it.

RE: Still dealing with Kisser issues!!!
I couldn't keep a kisser on my new 70# Marquis. They have to be "right next" to the Bowtech/Diamond string stopper, so just imagine that much energy suddenly coming to a halt and it wasn't any wonder that each one flew off after one or two shots. I found a solution with a Saunders Kiss-XL, which is pretty soft. This kisser has 5 holes near the outer edge, which I used to pass serving string back and forth, through: basically, start around the string below the kisser, then through one hole to the upper side of the kisser, a couple of passes around the bow string, back down through another hole, around the bow string below the kisser, up through another hole.... you get the idea.
That was over 600 shots ago, and the kisser is still in place.

Your kisser buttons shouldn't be breaking like that. Something is wrong. Is it possible that it is hitting something, maybe your rest is too far back, or possibly something on or related to the cable guards. Make sure your nock fit isn't too tight pulling the string way past the brace height.
Saunders makes a soft rubber kisser button.

It did it with my old rest and it does it with my new rest and I have had 3 techs look at it, and they simply say that the bow's speed is causing it to happen, I don't know?? It was fine with a soft kisser button until after about 300 shots. If something is hitting, wouldn't that throw my accuracy off a lot??

MeanV, I hear and know what your saying, I am one of those that well I hated it back in 1980 so I refuse to change. But as I am getting older I am also seeing where I may have no choice because I can't shoot with my glass's on and just a kisser because of the way I hold my head but a peep would work with glass's.
VA, I agree something seems amiss because I have the same kisser on my bow for two years now.. Walt
