Looking to quiet down some string "twang" on my Drenalin. Anybody try the Mathews Dead-End String Stop, the LimbSaver String Decelerator, or other models?

Do they work? Which is best? Pros/Cons?

I get some string slap on my arm that would supposedly be lessened. Is that your experience?

Last, where is a good place to buy one?

Thanks, I tried to search for this subject but did not find anything.

Love my Dead End. I put it on my wife's Passion for a week and had to take it back. The Reezen really feels diffrent with it and is quieter. I dont know that any one brand works any better than the others. String Tamers look good, I just stuck with the Mathews and am very happy with it. I havent shot string wiskers in a long time but am about to try them also on my Reezen. I've heard lots of people say even with a string stop the wiskers take away a lot "twang" in the string.

String stopper

I have to second the limbsaver!! I replaced the string tamer head with a limbsaver head on my buddy's 101st Airborne and could tell a dramatic difference. Picked mine up on E-bay for 40.00 TMD and it included a black head and a camo one. I have it on my reeezen and on my wife's passion. If you would like to try one, I would suggest just buying the limbsaver head for 12.00 and put it on whatever you are shooting now, as long as it has a 3/8 diameter rod. It is better than the deadstop also. love my Limbsaver string stopper!!!!:wav:
Good luck

Quick questions. When using the rear threaded units, do you still use a cable slide? I see limbsaver has just the head available. Would that do the job and leave my cable slide intact? Opinions? Thanks in advance.

Ok, I'm sorry if I dont get this and not to hijack the thread. But. My '05 diamond victory's string is about 1 1/4" from the cable slide. So I dont see how limbsavers head would go on the end and line up with the string to do its job. So if I need the threaded unit I assume it replaces the cable slide? Thanks again.

Joe,

I don't think they are on the same part of the bow. The string stoppers should thread into the back side of the riser opposite the stabilizer if a threaded hole is available. On some bows there is none, so you have to get a front-mounted string stopper. But none of them replace the cable slide, or even mount the pad on the end of the cable slide as far as I know.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I like the Limbsaver String Decelerator. I have it on my Bowtech Equalizer. Works great. My bow was already pretty quiet and is even more so now.

I'll have to take a look at the back of my riser to see if there is an extra threaded hole. I'd like to put a decelerator on my bow if it were relatively simple.

I added a BowRattler to mine this year. My bow is extremely quiet now, even took the noise from the rubber tube on the peep away. It was a bunch less expensive than some of the other ones out there and looks/works just as good. :darkbeer:
