RE: String silencers

I had Leeches on mine for a while. When they finally wore out, I bought a set of TRU-Ball Speed balls and used them alone. I not only could not detect any more noise than with the leeches, but I picked up 5 fps as well. TRU-Ball also makes a spider that has the speed ball in it as well as silencing spider legs--best of both worlds.

Leeches would be my first choice with wiskers right behind.

The Sims string leeches are great, easy to install and cheap.

Leeches for me too. I believe that they do slow down a bow a bit more than advertised, but who care. They silence the string great.

RE: String silencers

Viking, if you decide to go with the Sims string leeches, make sure you get the newer "improved" ones just coming out. I have not actually seen them (I have ordered some), but I understand they are much more durable.
