Is anyone using this? How do you like it? Does it work? I am thinking of putting one on my bow, but am trying to do some research before I spend my hard earned money

    I don't have one yet but will on my next bow, I have read way to much good stuff about this product to not buy one. And for the price its worth a try.

    I've heard it can even make a hoyt quiet.[:D][;)]

    Note: some leagues and tournaments limit the use of stabilizers rear of the bow. Just something to think about if you do such things.

    All sanctioning bodies now allow the sts in bowhunter classes. These organizations include: NFAA, NAA, ASA, IBO


    That really was the big problem last year in IBO, they a first said it was legal, then the changed and said it wasn't legal for bowhunter classes, and then they finally had a meeting and said it was legal. Its legal because its not a stabilizer, but a sound damping device. However, on AT, I see that some people are using it as a arm slap protector, this is not what it is design for or should be used for. With correct form and draw length, there won't be any arm slap unless you are shooting a shoot through cable system.

    lol, i make that post then read something, dur


    i just read "rumor" on AT that after June 30th, the STS will not be legal in NFAA competitions. But, i would still think it would be legal in unlimited class, as thats what unlimited is for.

    Actually the sound suppressing is an "extra" I copied this from the STS site. Irregardless, I think it is a nifty gadget and will be gettin one.

    quote:STS Shock Terminator Supressor
    This STS mounts to the front stabilizer hole (front mount) or rear stabilizer hole (rear mount) in the riser of your bow. The rubber stopper on the end of the STS should be barely touching your string once installed correctly. When you shoot your bow, the string will contact the rubber stopper, thus stopping the normal forward travel of the string. Instead of traveling past the string's resting point (a common cause for wrist/forearm string slap and many errors cause by movement during the shot), the string is stopped at the resting point. This allows you to be more accurate without the worry of string slap or fouled shots due to excessive movement. In addition, the STS system is an effective dampener. This will allow you to remove the speed robbing string silencing accessories, thus giving you more speed.
