I use them and will continue to use them.I shoot the MQ1, and they last almost a season for me.

The last couple of years I've put mine on just before hunting season...to tell the truth, I don't think they are any better than plain old 'cat whiskers' and they don't last long.

BowTech is now making and marketing there own string and cable guard dampening system Along with the VibraBlock system for the limbs. The string silencers slip on over the string and won't slip up or down. They also won't wear since they aren't attached through the string. You'll be able to see them on the web site in 2-3 weeks.

akbowhunter,

You should serve the leeches in. Keeping them firmly in one spot will greatly extend their life. It is also necessary to wrap the middle of the leach with something to reduce wear. I used a small piece of moleskin around the center of mine.

Hmmm, that Bowtech system sounds similar to what I currently use...but possibly more effective....I guess I will have to wait and see.

I like them too, but like the others I would like to see them last longer.
