    How do you think lining the limbs where the Air Shox impact would affect the bow?

    Would the benefit be negligible? Would it have negative consequences?

    I cant help with your question but it looks like the way the limb smacks the air shox it would be noisier than not having them on at all. I may have to take them off my faktor and see. Thanks for the vid.

    it's not loud by any means, but i was thinking whether or not it would make it quieter if i used where the shod and limbs connected.

    i thought about it when i saw the felt on the launcher for my tt smack down pro even though it was connecting on rubber pads.

    IMO the Air Shox don't make a difference at all. My bow felt the same with them on as it did with them off. I replaced them with a set of split limb Limbsavers and they are way better!

    I've found the air shox work pretty well if they're adjusted properly. I just couldn't find any info on adjusting them online. I bought my Spyder used and the shox weren't even close to touching the limbs. Loosening the limb bolts take the shox away from the limbs too. Only one way to adjust. Bend the arm - carefully.
