Theyre awesome. I've put a ton of shots on mine and havent had one break yet, so dont think theyre GUARANTEED to break.

I had a problem with the leeches tearing apart in the middle. Using Cat Whiskers now.

I never thought they did that much to help silence your bow until my bow started making a "noise". I had three different friends look at it and couldn't figure the noise out. We took parts (sight, rest) off only to still have the noise. We added limb silencers - didn't work. I took it to the shop and the owner spotted my string leech had come apart and was only a stub left.He put on a new set-noise gone!!

I take my statement back....I had to have an emergency replacement string put on my bow. A cheap non twisted string...Leaches installed and not broke. Before then I was shooting a twisted string (Zebra) and they would break...but after atleast 1000shots....I used to shoot about 1000 a week and didnt have to replace NEARLY that often. Bow was shooting A LOT faster and harder then as well

Ive put them on a bunch of bows. Not hard at all, if you got a string spliter of bow press. Also, you have to serve them on, or they will fly off. Which is not hard to do either. Once on, they last as long as your string, and they do a pretty good job. Even though I do not shoot compounds much, I have them on my compounds and like them

I have used them but went back to the cat whiskers. I could tell quite a noticable difference in the sound/volume of my bow. It is much quieter with the whiskers IMO. Plus they look much cooler IMO
