They look great and I'd love to get one if I can be proven of its effectiveness. Is it worth the $45 dollars or will string leeches do as good of a job? I've never seen them used first hand so I'm just wondering what everyones experience with it is.

I took off my STS one day at the range and let my buddy try it compared to his factory Bowtech equipment. There was no comparison...STS way out performed the stock Bowtech equipment. Much quieter now too!

I just received my STS from Mean V today. I just installed it less than 1 hr ago and served the string. Took it in the basement and shot it, and it was quieter than before. Not that my bow was not quiet before, but now it’s like whisper quiet. Oh yeah, and it looks good too.

RE: STS Stabilizers
I have an STS on my Parker hornet and love it. In cold weather with a big jacket on I can shoot with out worry of it hitting my jacket sleeve even when I'm not in A perfect shooting position. I should have taken my string leaches off and switched them to my cables, but after only a few shots with ths STS installed, my leaches ripped in half and fell off. It would make sense to me to remove the leaches from the string and move them to the cables but I didn't get the chance. If you want to save your leaches, don't shoot with them and the STS installed, the leaches wont last very long if you do.

x2 on the leaches. After the third release I made after the STS install my bottom leachfell outto the ground. That was all I needed to see to understand the purpose of the stabilizer. Instant stop!! and very quiet. I read that taking the leaches off will also add 2-3 fps to your bow as well.
