Bowtech VibraBlock failed
I dont know if anybody else has had this happen, but I looked at my bow this morning and the Bowtech VibraBlock on the lower limb has stretched out and now does not touch either of the flat sides of the limbs, its approx 1/2" off the center of the front and back of the limb. What a pain in the a__ since you have to remove a limb to replace it.
Good luck hunting

RE: Bowtech VibraBlock failed
Sounds like a good fix. Did you get some bug spray or oil on the rubber? I put Limb Savers on my Justice and it made the bow SUPER quiet. I think the V-blocks work but I think if they were "stretched" out into a "string" and glued to the underside of the limb like the limb savers, they would be more effective. This might violate a pattent issue though???

Cut them off and replace permanently with limbsavers. I still don't know why Bowtech uses proprietary rubber on their bows, but the Sims stuff is more durable and works better IMO. No need to remove the limbs either.

I cut off all of the damper material on my Bowtech and replaced it with Sims products. The factory stuff made more noise when they got old. I also found that using only 1 string leach above the peep made my bow super silent!
