Default Bowtech guys, check it out.

If you haven't tried adding Limb Savers in addition to your Vibrablocks you should. I took my Vibra blocks and slid them down near the riser then added a set of the new LS Ultras up where they are recommended to be and WOW! This bow is unbelievably quiet. I've had several comments on how quiet it is, not to mention it is absolutely dead in your hand at the shot. Even shooting indoors at 312 fps with an arrow that is only about 25 grains over IBO, it is still quieter than most other bows shooting in there. My factory string silencers are almost gone as well. I'll probably put on Leeches when they are gone.

I take it those are the ones with the wedge shaped cut out of two sides of it?

Thanks for the tip, thats good to know.

One question, how did you get 312 out of a bow with a 320 B/C rating?

I know 25 grains over would get you there, but are you only shooting with a brass nockset on the string?

Any speed tricks you want to share?

I'm hoping to pick up some speed when I replace my string things with the leeches as well.

I would tend to agree. I put a set of the Ultras on my MM VFT shortly after receiving it and do believe that the Ultras add a little more to the over low noise/low recoil characteristics of the bow. I have not yet felt the need to put them on the Liberty yet but I may well...eventually.

Another vote for adding those things. I added them to my Patriot and now I'm told my arrow is louder than my bow.

I put a set of regular limbsavers on my Liberty. My dad is saying that he can close his eyes and only hear the arrow flying through the air.

The only thing I have on the string is a string loop and peep sight with no tubing. Actually after weighinh the arrow again, it is only about 19 grains over.

Thanks for the tip, Mike. I may have to give that a try! On a side note, has anyone tried the Sims cable slide dampener? I found it to be much better than the stock one!

I got some of the Ultras to try after a friend (JeffB) told me how well they worked with the Vibrablocks. Just haven't gotten around to installing them yet.

I am hearing very good things about those Ultras........I messed around with my Liberty and some of the Stealth Limbsavers, and I honestly couldn't hear or feel a bit of difference.
I finally left them on and slid the vibrablocks down even though I can't tell if they are helping........I was afraid to pull the Limbsavers off and mess up the finish. They were really stuck on there. So I guess they'll stay.
That bow definitely doesn't need em' but I had to play.
Time to leave well enough alone and just shoot the thing.
