I should have said," anyone who shoots a MATHEWS,ever try this" .Well here it is : With the newer bows that have those string suppressers on the limb tips, would anything be lost or gained with removing them ?.Maybe a small speed gain, 1 or 2 fps.Any body try this yet ??

Why would anyone want a noisier bow, just to gain a couple feet per second in speed? I for one, love quiet bows and would probably be willing to give up 10-20 fps, if I could get a significantly quieter bow.

I' m with Straightarrow...why would you want to make your bow noisier?? It just makes no sense. I' d also give up 10-20 fps to have a silent bow. Quiet matters way more than speed.

Maybe, just maybe, he shoots the bow for 3d' s and could care less how noisy it is? Foam don' t jump string! I re-read the post and it didn' t say for hunting only.

Yep tried it....No faster and not alot quieter with or without them...

but to add to this has any one noticed the newwer matthews are getting heiver.
I love my mq1 but the legacy is a touch more quetier...then also i shoot a hunting weight arrow.
