I’m a big fan of HiTek. Have one on my revolt and it was the first time I thought a string stop made a difference. They are fairly cheap too.

I have the same bow and tried the same hitek. However, if I twisted it so that the string was center on the stop, then my cables hit the rod of the stop at full draw.

Have you noticed this or gotten around it?

The owner of hitek was going to make me a custom one, but then never got back a hold of me.

I bought the hitek in 2020, so maybe they've changed them.

I noticed just now that you have a Revolt X, which has 3/4" less brace height than the Revolt. This likely makes a significant difference. The Revolt has a long brace height at 7.25 inches.

 

Hitek on all my bows.

Love my Hi Teks!

 

HiTek makes good ones. I may be in the minority, but I did not notice a huge sound or vibration difference from them vs. the stock string stop. Was very subtle.

 

What bow or bows have you used it on?

The reason I ask is that on some bows it makes no difference and others it makes a big difference.

 

I’ve hand good luck with hitek. A close second for me was bow rattler

 

I like my HiTek as well as the old Norway string tamer. I believe the rubber used on the stops make the biggest difference tho. The softer rubbers seem to work best. The best string stop I've ever used tho, were the old STS double suppressors.

I use the firenock model for two reasons. First, it is made of titanium. Second, it is in an "S" shape which diverts shock better than a straight line>

 

Norway was my favorite but I've only used the factory stuff for several years.

 

CHL were always my go to. But he’s no longer making them.
Just threw a Hi-tek on the newest bow and I can’t complain so far.

 

Agree totally with the cool hand luke stuff! I had them on all my bows.

 

Hi-tek on my Mach1 way better than the stock one.

 

Been using HiTek myself. Great product.

 

I'm a BowRattler kind of guy.

 

Cool Hand Luke made some great ones but now I'd go with HiTek. The softer stoppers like Vibekiller or Bowjax make the most difference imo. Bear uses hard string stoppers for some strange reason. Changing them out is a huge improvement. Just wish they'd go back to two string stops. My Refine has two diy stops with Vibekillers and it's a drastic difference.

Changed the stock stopper on my Execute 32 to Mathews stopper and again a noticeable difference. Unfortunately no top tapped hole or it would get dual string stops too. Modified the Elite stopper to fit a Bowjax and it made a difference but not quite as much as the Bears. Not even close on the Hoyt Alphamax 32 vs stock, huge difference. Slight change on Xpedition Xscape but not a big difference

 

I have CHL and hitek both are great, if I could go straight rod on my bow's it would be hand's down solid carbon bow cable rod cut with STS stopper or the 4 dot. Even though it's straight it absorbs the vibe.
For the sr6 bows I have I would like to get the obsession defcon string stop.
They definitely made the biggest difference but almost 60 bucks a piece delivered a few years ago and I have not bought my own yet.

 

for aftermarket stoppers, I always thought norway........anyone ever try the saunders vudu?..........looks pretty interesting

 

I put a Hi-Tek Sand Trap on one of my R35's and then found a fellow with a CHL that I managed to obtain. Both are excellent.

 

I have a Hi-Tek Sandtrap on a Prime Inline and it made a completely different bow out of it. Very happy with it. I would not change the one on my Mathews. Its quiet and does what it is supposed to do.

 

I have used Hi Tek, TAP, Bowrattler, STS, Norway and CHL which is no longer made.

I like Hi Tek the best. The TAP comes with a harder Limbsaver rubber bumper and doesn't work as well.

They all work about the same if you put a softer rubber bumper on, like the Bowjax rubber that comes on the Hi Tek and the old CHL stops.

 

Have a HiTek on my Rezult. Really didn't notice much difference but it doesn't look like a cheap add on like the factory stop.

 

I run the Firenock aerobump on mine and have been happy so far

I figured I would come back and update. I've responded on other threads about this, but I'll address it here as well.

I picked up an SS34 a couple months ago and after great experiences with the Hi-tek on my Elite last year, I decided to order one for my SS34.

The Hi-tek that I received is one of the new designs. Personally, I prefer the look of the old style but with experiences like what @raisins and others had, I completely understand why they had to redesign.

I was able to make the new style work on the SS34. The string is not centered on the rubber stopper because when it is, I get cable contact on the carbon rod at full draw. As pictured is as close to center as I can make it at brace. It seemed to have been an improvement over stock in the felt vibration department. Any noise difference is hard to discern.

 

If you get cable contact, twist it so it's the opposite angle so the stop is higher on the string for more clearance. I like it closet to the center of the string anyway.

 

If you are responding to me, I am not concerned with which direction it is facing. String stop serving location does not allow for it to be rotated “upright” on this bow anyway.

If it came down to pulling the string and reserving the string stop serving in a new location, I would just put the factory string stop back on, it’s not worth the trouble. But that is just me, YMMV.
