Title: String Suppressor????
Post by: Intruder on February 28, 2008, 09:28:00 AM: Seems like alot of the new bows are coming equipped w/ String suppressors. Anyone shot w/ 1 of these? I think STS makes a version that will fit just about any bow. Other than addin a few oz. to the bow I haven't heard any negatives about these. Supposed to really dampen shock, quiet the bow, and almost eliminate all string slap.

What's the scoop?

Not sure I picked up any speed, but for just the above, it was worth every penny and more.
