do you use an sts?

bowcraze30 · 08-01-2008, 02:23 PM

I am thinking about getting one but wanna make sure they are worth the investment.

OneMustFall · 08-01-2008, 02:31 PM

I used one on my AR34,but it made a pop noise after i installed it.It did settle the bow down nicely but not worth the trade off to me...............

jdawg240 · 08-01-2008, 02:35 PM

Yes .....always.....................I like the MeanV version best...Lightweight!!

MichiganHunter · 08-01-2008, 02:43 PM

i havent hunted with it yet but i will this year. im not sure if it quited it down that much but it eleminated the hand shock that i didnt know i had untill i put it on.

Will never setup a hunting bow without one. And my one of choice is the Original STS.

bowcraze30 · 08-01-2008, 02:49 PM

does the front mount look bulky when installed?

Never used one but I have seen them and they do not look bulky to me.

dbdcougar · 08-01-2008, 02:52 PM

Mines a rear mount but my daughter's is front mounted - looks fine to me.

MichiganHunter · 08-01-2008, 03:53 PM

mine is front mount... its not bulky at all.

J.Blay · 08-01-2008, 03:56 PM

My front mount does add a little bulk and weight, but I'm 90 percent tree stand hunting, so a little extra weight is a small trade off for the extra shooting comfort. The tap it makes is no more disturbing than the buzz it eliminates, and I don't need string leaches now. Also, my hand placement seems more consistant. I'm happy with mine. One more thing, after I got it adjusted right, the tap noise was much quieter.

Same for me. I love my meanV CSS. It made a huge difference in my opinion.

08-01-2008, 08:07 PM

don't use one, but maybe some day I might try one.

Holy Smokes · 08-01-2008, 10:22 PM

I had one on my Septer and removed it the a couple of weks ago and felt like a sinner

I have double STS on my Mathews SBXT and love it. It was worth every penny to me.

I changed the rubber insert out on the Shortstop on my 82nd and added a lower MeanV. A mouse Fart would rival the noise that bow makes now.

Super Quiet!!

I've been wanting to try one, but haven't been sure if it's worth it. Someone let me know what you think. The two bows I have for hunting are: Mathews SQ2 and a Mathews Legacy. The SQ2 is pretty quiet right now, not sure how much quieter it can go but am always willing to try something new.

String Suppressors work!! Whether it's mine or one of the other models on the market. Look them over and buy what you like, then enjoy the benefits. I think most people that have tried one will tell you it's one of the best bangs for your $$ you can get.

I wont go without them and meanvs are definately some of the best out there. I didnt really think I needed one on my mathews but I definately use them on my bowtechs.

Um, why would you take out the shortstop on an 82nd ?

That makes no sense at all.

Adding your stopper in addition to it makes some sense.

The shortstop is WAY closer to the nock point than any alternative string stopper and it is far more effecive at stopping forward string motion than any stopper screwed into the back of the stab bushing...

I have your product on my Allegiance and Ovation so I do know what I speak of.

Meanv (Dan) makes good stuff.... I use his stoppers on 2 of my bows and I would not want anything else.

Ron, I didn't take off the Short Stop, but I did replace the rubber insert with the BowJax one I carry. I believe it is superior to the original. I then added a lower MeanV. So I have them both working for me.

Oh I got ya.... I did not mean to be negative on that one, I just did not understand why you did.

I'm not sure I disagree with you on that call at all.... That stopper is in a perfect spot on the 82nd and 101st, I just don't trust the mounting and the fact that it forces the string into a groove. And I did recently find out that Bowtech delears do not normally stock the replacement rubber stoppers...

Can you PM me a pic of ow yours is set up ?

Thanks man,

Ron

MeanV2 · 08-03-2008, 09:59 PM

Don't have pics, but I am planning on posting pics of it in the next day or 2.

IChim2 · 08-08-2008, 06:17 AM

I have meanv's on 2 of my bows and will never shoot with out one....made a believer out of me also.There's a few different one's on the market,but i like his due to the fact that he can match most camo colors and it looks like it part of the bow and not just another add on and compared to others.....the price is right.
