Limb Savers

RE: Limb Savers
I have 4 on mine , two near the limb bolt mounts and 2 near the ends of the limbs about a third of the way into the limbs . It made a noticeable difference in the noise and vibration .

RE: Limb Savers
Nothing against Limb Savers (never tried them myself), but I will say a little tuning can go a long way. I haven't tried limb saversbecause I don't need them--I us a single set of cat whisker silencers on my string, and get lots of comments on how quiet my bow is.
I start with a "naked" string, and get it shot in. Then I tinker with the brace height and look for the spot with the least vibration and noise. Once I find that "sweet spot", Imeasure it and make a note. Then I tie my cat whiskers around the string (not through it) so they can be adjusted if needed. I start out at the 1/3 points on the string, then shoot some more, moving them 1" or less at a timeup or down the string if needed.
Haven't found a bow I couldn't calm down like that. Also, I don't shoot tiny strings or light arrows, even for tournaments. I shoot the same set up at tournaments as I do for hunting--so far it works just fine.
