I have a Hoyt bow that I hunt with. I have shot it without suppressers and with. The difference was amazing! I would never hunt without suppressers.

Del's right they don't cost much and every little bit of suppression helps.

I think they're generally worth it, though for a variety of reasons. They make most bows much quieter, and that's reason enough. They also do a lot to absorb vibration and deaden the felt-shock to your hand, which is also great.

But to me, here's the biggest advantage. I accidentally dry-fired my bow a couple of years ago. The string broke, and a couple of smaller bolts broke. But the rest of the bow was unharmed. I had the string-suppressor on my bow and I firmly believe that it absorbed enough of the shock that it saved my bow (minus the need for a new string and two small bolts).

Definately worth it!

String leechs and a STS are a must on any bow. What a diference they make.

I think limbsaver has the best string suppressors. And to answer your question, yes, they are worth it.

You got to be kidding, you’re joking right

You want your bow to sound like the screen door slamming at your Grandmother’s house!

I’ve seen deer jump the string at 10 yards!

what about on a crossbow?

String suppressors are some of the most important things to have on a bow. Although a bow might be fast, you need to make it as quiet as possible so that the animal does not flinch or even run away from the sound of the bow.

i do believe in them helps with noise alot!
