As you may remember, I'm getting back into bowhunting after 21 years. THe equipment is much different then what I used back then. So I'm looking for some advice. I was shooting my bow the other night and noticed that there was more string noise then before. I looked and saw that the arms of the string silencers were breaking off. I went to the shop and bought the Diamond silencer kit(what came on my bow) THe guy at the shop tried to sell me on a "string tamer". It He said that it would eliminate the need for the silencers that go on the string and that it would get my arrow speed up. What do you guys know about these things. It looks like another metal bar with a rubber stopper on the end that you mount were the stabilizer goes.... SB
I have the string tamer on my bow and it is the best thing I have ever purchased for my bow as far as noise and vibration reduction. They eleminate the need for string silencers and cut down on any shock you may have. There is a reason they come stock on most bows these days. They were a wonderful invention:d
yup, I'd have to definitely agree. There are several versions of string silencers available. Mean V here makes one hell of nic set up. Matches it up to your bow specfications & color. They do make quite a difference in the noise. Don't forget about putting sims limb savers & accessory silencers. I've got them on my quiver, sight, and as the stabilizer.
Cool. I'll get one. I have the limbsaver stuff on my bow and it is really smooth and quiet (2008 Diamond Rock), but it all of a sudden it had a lil "twang". Thanks. SB
Agreed - String suppression systems like the String Tamer, STS System, or the custom solutions from MeanV are a great way to reduce noise and vibration in your bow. A few years ago when they first came out I had an STS on my Allegiance and I remember the tech at my local shop looking at it and going "What the hell is that thing?" Now just a few years later most of the high end bows come with them standard. We have all models of String Tamer in stock if you're intersted in trying one out. All you need to know is the distance between the rear stabilizer bushing on your riser, and your string. Measure that distance and I can let you know which one is right for your bow. The nice thing about the String Tamers is that they are adjustable to fit a variety of bows, lightweight, and the rubber stoper is both durable and soft. http://www.bowhunting.com/shopping/Departments/Stabilizers-and-Vibration-Reduction.aspx
Thanks Justin. I don't think my bow has a rear stab. bushing, so I'll have to go with a front mounted one. SB
FYI, Cabelas has a universal one that works pretty good. I think I paid $40. Fits in between your stabilizer/mount.
