Dave I thought you shot an STS?

Mike,
Sho-nuff, STS under the grip, silencer on top. I came up with this set up after test shooting in my ground blind. The one silencer up top really took out whtever the sts left behind noise wise. It wasn't easy to hear until shooting inside the enclosure- night & day difference inside there (before & after)
This is only on the tribute, on the Pat the silencer on top did nothing for it.

Did you finally give up on your STS?

I switched from string leeches to cat wiskers on my Outback this year and could not believehow much quieter it was, plus I think they look cooler(JMO)

I tok the original one back to Cabelas, but I kept eading so much good stuff about them I bought one of the custom made ones off Ebay. It doesn't use the block or anything, it just screws into the back rear mount stabilizer hole. Muuuuccchhhh cleaner look for sure. Im still up n the air n it. It still sounds like a slap to me but everyone around me says it's quiet so we'll see.
