I've had these string silencers pop off of both my hoyts. I took the rubber "grommet holes" out on my vtm34 and it changed from bullet hole to nock low. Anyone else take them out and it changed the tune? I put them back in and it decreased the nock low some. Anyone know where you can get just the "tails" that go in them or are they sold as one piece?

I could be a combination of both. You're making a change so things might change. It's doable just need to retune the bow. I'm leaving my rx8U alone, its missing 1 tail at the moment, too close to season to mess it up but I just ordered new string and cables for a vtm34 that I will mess with. I really don't notice any changes in noise

I replaced the strings on one of my RX-8U's and didn't put them in. Tuned and was shooting perfect, put them back in and tune changed a lot. My other RX-8U, replaced strings and put them in before tuning, tuned perfect with them in place. No difference in noise. Both bows tuned easily, center shot 13/16th's. I needed to swap shims a bit on both, but it was easy. If they break in the bow that I have them in, i'll leave them out and re-tune.

wth? These things just pop out? Just noticed the tails missing on my 3 week old ax-2. That'll drive me crazy looking at a chunk of rubber in my string doing nothing so I'll probably just pull them and re-tune. It's been a sh*t show getting this tuned in the first place, so why not add some more misery?
