Arthur were talking about $15.00 not $150.00. Thats like saying why would you wear such a nice shirt to church when your 10 year old tank top has never failed you.

That IS funny. Har, har, har.

After you've spent 150 bucks replacing busted string leeches, I'll still be using the same set of whiskers I got for a dollar on the sale rack. That's more than enough to pay for a whole dozen ACC's!

edit: From Simms Q&A page in reply to the guy wanting to know why his leeches break after only a couple hundred shots.
Our String Leeches® are made from our proprietary NAVCOM™ (Noise and Vibration Control Material), which is the best material on the market to silence your bow and stop string oscilation. It is a pliable material, however, and it will wear down and break. Although many target archers enjoy the effects of our String Leeches®, they were primarily designed for the hunt and are not expected to last longer than needed to tune your bow and take down your trophy animal. For more information on the LimbSaver® String Leech®, read our technical article, “The Who, What, Why of String Leeches®” by our tech support guru, Shawn Coulter.

I have a set of puff balls I have been using for over 5 years, on two different bows. Still work as good as the day I bought them, actually a bit better maybe.

Of all the goofy ass looking things on my bow my old school silencers are the least of my worries.

I actually think the beaver balls look pretty cool myself. I put some on my girlfriends target bow. They are not real cheap though.
