Man a good string can make a world of difference. Winner's Choice and BCY strings are the first that come to mind. As far as a string stopper goes do you need one no. But do they make a difference yes. What they do is stop your string at the rest position. Which in turn keeps the string vibration and noise to a minimum. I have never purchased one but one came stock on my Maxxis. And trust me that thing is whisper quiet.

Crackers, Bucknasty, Vapor Trails, Winners Choice...there are a lot of good strings out there. Check them all out and see which ones fit your price range...and yes good strings make a big difference. Generally they last longer and do not stretch as much.
A string stop stops the string at the same spot consistently providing a cleaner release/shot. It also quiets the bow without adding any weight to the string.

The MeanV Suppressors are made from 7075 aluminum, and the adjustment nuts are machined from solid brass. I have Not had one failure from this combination. Anything made from steel will rust and sieze, and lesser grade aluminum will fail.
Our stopper also has very high reviews on the internet.
We were also the 1st to offer camo finishes and still offer several patterns. The OEM Hoyt suppressors as well as the OEM BowTech suppressors have been a big success.
Cheap imitations are just that!

Winner's Choice...Thats what is going on my Drenalin in the next couple weeks... and I recently added the Mathews Dead End String Stop to my Drenalin, and I can tell a world of difference. May just be me, but it seems like there is a noticeable difference in hand shock. The bow already had minimal shock, but now there is practically none!
