Anyone use these??

They look promising. I know my Monster has the string grubs on it, so I assume they work.

I dont get the peep alignment stuff. How is that gonna help peep alignment ?

hope this isnt to critical but the logic just doesn't flow for me. anything you add to your bow string will equal an in crease in weight to the string which naturally reduces the speed of the arrow, anything. serious target bow folks don't have string silencers because of the added weight, I looked on their website and it doesn't explain the physics... so I guess the proof is in the chrono. buy it and test it out for us and get back to us.

the lighter metapeep they came out with a few years ago made sense. lighter material for a peep sight but this just doesn't compute.

k i think im gonna check it out, i dont understand how it works either but hey if it doesnt, ill just return it

The only thing I can think of is that by moving these up and down changes the twist in the string. It would be fine tuning the twist.

Most target shooters are just not worried about noise. Speed ain't hard to get.

I played with speed nocks on my AlphaMax. By adding 3 nocks just before the end serving on each end netted me 7 FPS more than without.

Weight near the cams increases speed. Different fps for different setups. We've been doin these "SPEED BUMPS" since the mid '90's. CATCH UP FOLKS....

Got them on the new bow, but it just was plain faster than the old no matter what. Keep ya posted to see if they make a difference.
