Why should I get a string supressor?
Thinking about getting one for my Mathews Switchback XT, but don't know if it would help me out or not!

It should help to quite your bow. I have some bows with them, but on all. My quietest bow doesn't have one.

I believe your mathews has the suppressors built in up near the cam and idler wheel. I have a suppressor on all my bows, it not only helps quiet the bow and tame string oscilation but it also helps with wrist slap and hitting your sleeve when wearing bulky cloths in late season.

If you're getting wrist slap it's because the bow the draw length is too long, or you just have some really bad form. |

NO it doesn't,with some of these low brace bows and bulky clothes,the sleeve will be in the string path the last couple of inches.The string suppressor stops this last bit of string travel,therefore decreasing chance of it hitting your clothing. |
It does help with string buzz. It doesn't work miracles.

It helps with alot of things like string buzz. It also stops the string from moving much further than brace height after the shot, thats where you tend to get wrist slap with these 5 or 6 inch brace height bows and also when you wear a big cold weather parka it can be near impossible to keep your sleeve out of the strings path unless you wear an arm guard or something to keep your sleeve tight to your arm. |

If you have a problem with string buzz then you need to put on good string silencers. |
