As long as ya don't mind the STS "slap", you're good to go.[8D]
I never noticed any slap on mine. I'm thinking my arrow hits the target at the same time my string hits the sts....
Paper tuning at 5 feet are we??

This kind of bugs me. I really feel the need to know why those string squidees fly off for some folks relatively quickly while others seem not have any problem with them whatsoever. I thought there might be a correlation relative to the energy being sent into the string during the shot..and it appears there is to a certain extent...but I am also wondering if the frequency of shooting has something to do with it as well.

Frank,
I think some of it has to do with positioning on the string......I think the majority of the damage comes from conatct with the cables on the forward stroke and then ripping as the string comes back to brace.

700-800 shots on a high energy bow sounds good to me for Leeches , or Bowtech products.
To work properly they have to be pliable, unfortunately it's that property which makes them susceptible to damage.
I look at Leeches and the like as a temporary item everytime I put them on. They WILL die eventually.

I have had good luck with the 'Crossbow/Compound" SIMS leeches over the traditional "Z" shaped ones.
They seem a little tougher over time.

Nothing else rubber beats a nicely served in and trimmed cat whisker ball for durability though.

That is exactly what I ordered...glad to see it has already proven to hold up for somebody else. $9.99 for a QTY of 4.
