RE: How many fps am I loosing w/ silencers
 

How about my full size, old fashioned Puffs. They are on my UltraMax, 28", 60#. Wonder what that is costing me in speed?

The bow very quiet!!!!

Just shot my Q2XL through a chrono yesterday with whiskers and got 274 fps/. Shot it after removing them and got 277. I know each bow and arrow combo will be different but thats my results. I will add the noise level went up significantly without the whiskers.

Geesh, such worry about a few fps.[&o]

I've had a couple of the Q2XLS, and for some reason that particular design had a ton of string vibration/noise. I had 2 leeches on mine, and it probably could have used 4.:D

Who's worried? I'm not :)

But I'll take all the extra I can get if I don't compromise something else in the process :D

Within the past week I just lost most all of the little "legs" from the string silencers on my Liberty. I was surprised they lasted that long, but since they were falling apart I went ahead & removed them from the string. I shot last night & there was no noticeable difference in my point of impact at all. Pins still hit dead on out to 35 yards.

If it's not going to change your pin gap, why bother removing them just to gain a few fps? My Liberty makes a little more noise sans string silencers so I will definitely be adding leaches before hunting season.
