Default Vibration on New Bow

I bought a new Reflex Excursion this weekend at Cabelas. This bow shoots great thus far, still fine tuning it. There's more vibration on this bow than my Reflex Bighorn that I've been shooting for the last two years. The Excursion is a split limb where the Bighorn has a solid limb. I have string leeches on the new bow and a cheap stabilizer. Will Limbsavers and a better stabilzer help a little or alot?? Thanks in advance for any tips.

yeah limb savers are a must, and go out and buy a hoyt/doinker stabilizer that matches your bows coloring....

I thought that the Reflex Excursion was part of hoyt, or at least that is the drift I got from a pro shop i went to.... hmm... what's the deal with that? They have the hoyt cam & 1/2 and they have split limbs and the hoyt camo.


I am confused and clarification would be appreciated,
Thanks.

I think reflexes are like hoyts and my friend has a hoyt that was one of the loudest bows I had heard, he put limbsavers on it and now it is very quiet. They made a world of difference for him.

Reflex is the mail order line of Hoyt. Made by Hoyt, but sold in mail order catalogs and sporting good stores.

I have a reflex excursion too, when I put limbsavers on, it took so much vibration out that I thought my poundage was at 40 lbs. Reflex is manufactured by hoyt, the Excurison is basically the Hoyt Mt Sport from last year.

Along with the limb savers I also like the grip wrap made by limb saver. I just put it on my bow and it stops almost all the vibration from getting to my hand. I already had all the other vibration reducing savers on the bow but this wrap kind of topped everything off.
