Well after a good bit of shooting lately my Extreme VFT has finally broken one of my string silencers. I will need to replace them. What should I go with? Also, I know the string has speed buttons attached, what affect will these have if I don't use another set of hush kit silencers.

Just replace them with Sims string leeches; that's what I do.

Lots of pepole like the new bowjax , bowtech makes tie on replacements , so you dont have to press your bow

I used the new style string leach last go around and it did last a lot longer than the factory stuff. I recently replaced it with a new one, but if I get time today will install a bowjax since (according to a tribute shooter at the bowshop- his have yet to come off after lotsof shooting-we'll see) they last longer.

BTW, I only run one of anything up top and an STS below.

Same as Greg on the Leeches but use the ones made for compounds and crossbows. I did this on Matt/PA's recommendation, they work better than the originals plus picked up a few fps.

I switched to cat whiskers after mine flew off. I couldn't tell you how many people comment on my Tribute about how quiet it is. Of course, it was pretty quiet to begin with.

I too went with the Cat Wiskers!!!!!! No problems here!

same here, my tribute is noticably quieter with the cat whiskers on than with the factory silcencers

Well I put the bowjax on today and the bow is as quiet as with the simms (flat arm style) OR even quieter- definately not louder.

The speed also stayed the same I chronied before & after with the same arrow.

My Extreme VFT is sporting Cat Whiskers. Its never been quieter.
