Posted this on the excalibur forum too and bj who has his own archery shop and is a nice guy to deal with had this to say

i've use these for years...they're great...the more tattered and battered they get, the better they work...it'll change the twang into a thud and minimized the vibration ...i also use them on my trad and compound bows...

I'm wanting to use these on a compound crossbow and do not have a bow press so it will be a while before I can try them out.
Is there a way to split a string without the a press, it is not twisted.
Thanks Martin

There is a contraption I think is called a string separator that should work.

BTW, I have tried them, the felt pads for X bow string version. Did absolutely nothing to reduce noise on my Equinox. It did slow the string down so I was getting 5-10 fps slower (chroned, not estimate). And they were a devil to keep in place on my factory string (not Flemish) I even tried tying them on but they were off in less than 10 shots. Perhaps that bow was too powerful (225 draw weight) perhaps they would stay on better on a Flemmish srting. Whatever, given the lack of noise reduction I quit exprimenting.
