Title: looking for string stop
Post by: snarkybull on July 06, 2013, 09:17:13 AM: I'm thinking about buying a Bow Rattler (http://bowrattler.com/ (http://bowrattler.com/)). Does anybody have experience with these?

Any other recomendations?

2008 PSE Brute NI

If it does have the rear mounting hole I might suggest taking a look at Mathews Dead End string stop. I'm sure it is lighter in weight. And it's a really REALLY good product. Something I don't often say about anything Mathews.

the stabilizer threads go all the way through, i'm assuming any string stop will just thread on the back side and hopefully not interfere with the stabilizer.

the string to riser at that point is 7.5" so the bow rattler, at least, should fit.

That sounds good! I do have a Mathews suppressor here if you want to borrow it for testing. It's not for sale, but it can be loaned out if you wish to pay return freight after you play with it for a while.

I just don't think I can look myself in the mirror if I attach any mathews or hoyt stuff to my bow. And its really expensive, I'd hate to actually like it. :tung:

Post by: RadSav on July 06, 2013, 11:52:00 AM: I understand completely. It's difficult for me too. I always figure if I don't really like it I might never get the contamination effect neutralized. But once in a great while I'm left surprised.

Well, if you decide you want to take me up on it just leave a shipping address in a PM and I'll get it out as soon as I find it. Might take a day or two if it's not where I think it is.

Post by: snarkybull on March 28, 2014, 11:31:03 AM: The set screws are a little wimpy and need to be yarfed down really tight to prevent slippage. but it does work well when set up. I am happy with it, really cut down on string slap and noise. a great option for bows that don't come with one.
