string suppressor
« on: September 11, 2009, 03:58:30 PM »
I was thinking about getting one for my Martin Magnum. Is it worth it or are they bad for the strings. A pros and cons list would be nice.
Thanks for your help and time

Night and day difference!  You will not regret it.  I have had them on my last 3 bows.  My current bow is a Bowtech Guardian which is one of the quietest and shock free bows out and it made a big difference. 

Pros - less hand shock, quiets bow.  Also if your bow has a short brace height it stops the wrist slap some people get.

Cons - can't think of any.

I cannibalized an old Sims’ Mini S-coil and installed it as a string stopper for a test.
Not only does it eliminate forearm slap, it visibly improved group size about 15%.
I served my string about an inch above and below the contact area of the elastomer “button”.

Sound levels are low to begin with on the ‘07 Truth. The addition of the string stop changed the noise type but not the amplitude. Less of a long twang and more of a short buzz now.
There is now a noticeable vibration in the grip (the rear stabilizer hole is directly beneath the grip in the standard location). Consequently, all that energy is transmitted into the base of the grip instead of being dissipated by the multiple vibrations of the string.

When I wear out the S-Coil, I will shop for a rear mounted replacement, probably a Sims.

Good Shooting!
“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter can not be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”

made my own, then bought the Fuse. Works great, just have the string served or it will wear fast.
