I can't prove it but I would think that once the string passes it's original position, it would start slowing down.
That's when the arrow would be released. At least is makes sense to me.

The theory is that it allows for a "cleaner" release, as the string is stopped abruptly as it reaches brace. If you've ever watched slo-mo videography of an arrow being shot, the string goes way beyond brace, and sort of "holds on" to the arrow, or more appropriately, the arrow holds onto the string. Some people think the string "pulls" at the nock as it swings back the other way -- VERY minutely, of course -- but enough to cause a 2-5 fps speed loss on the arrow.

STS is making a side mount system this year. I'm not sure if they are available yet. I positive they are going to fit Hoyt risers, but I 'm not sure what other models. They probably are riser specific.

String silencers like leeches and whiskers slow an arrow down several feet per second and with the CSS guys are removing these string silencers and this is another way people claim to pick up speed.
