RE: guys with string leeches
They do help, but you will eventually blow them off, not really worth the money IMO, does the suppressors on your bow not make it quiet? Assuming that it's the bow were talking about.

They make your bow quieter, no one will argue that.More of a personal preference thing. You will loose speed, but if you want quieter, these will do it. If your bow is already quiet, you may not even notice the difference.
I currently have them on my bow, but I dont plan on using them on my new strings when i replace them this week.

Put some cat wiskers on your new bow. They will last forever and do a better job of quieting your bow.
The leeches will rip in half in no time.

well my bow now is at about 315 fps, and i think i could sacrifice a few fps to make it a little quieter. from what im seeing on here though, theyre kind of a waste of money.

Congrats, its hard to achieve IBO speeds, especialy on a hunting bow. No peep, no d-loop. Heck those would be some light arrows too.

Oh and cat whiskers are the well... whisker looking things on a bow...
