silencing my bow
 
I just bought a switchback and the dealer told me I don't need string silencers or limb savers. He said that they actually make the bow noisier, this model only. Is this true ?

that sounds strange for it to be just that model

Thats a weird statement. I would think that using them would not do anything but help. Mathews already uses a string bumper type system that is supposed to dampen the string. Adding leeches can't do anything but help it IMO.

That is a pretty stupid statement especially from a shop. You think they would suggest it so that they could make some more money on the sale.
Like muzzy said, they cant hurt.

ron, I can't see dampening deviced hurting in any way other that to reduce noise. One thing to keep in mind though. Make sure your bow is tuned well. A precisely tuned bow will eliminate much of the unwanted noises.;)

I have Limb Saver Ultras on the inside of the limbs, bat wings on the bottom two cables, and string leeches on the string. I had a hand buzz so I put a Limb Saver strip out in front of the grip. No more buzz and now dead silent. LOOK OUT!!!

all of the sims products have been great for me without adverse side effects. i dont know what the shop was thinking when they said that they only make it more noisy.
