    I don't know if it makes the bow any "quieter" with the limbsavers, but it sure does make the noise or "sound" nicer. The bowjax are not a very good product IMO.

    Or, how bought this? Offer the bows with NO suppressors, and save everyone $10. Then they can put on whatever they like? Seems easy enough to me.

    EXACTLY where I am thinking...

    Plus the limbsaver as a little more mass.
    I'm buying another set today in fact for my TA Z28

    I pulled the bowjax off and replaced with Quads on both my bows. I put the bowjax rubber pieces on my STS & cable slide.

    Default Bow Jax vs. Limb Savers

    Alright, it seems we are having ad difference of opinions over which is better. They are both well made and do the overall job of noise reduction well. I know Limb Savers are well known and liked. But the main difference is this......If you shoot a heavy bow like 70# or more, the Bow Jax will last much longer than the Limb Savers. The kinetic energy that a 70# bow produces is taking the Limb Savers to full potential. I don't notice much, if any, of a difference between the two, the bow Jax look better and they are more durable. I am not spending extra money for a product that will tear easier, with no noticeable difference. What we need here is someone with the capacity to measure noise vibration in a controlled environment to see the actual difference. Then we will all be on the same page. Great hunting to all my fellow Eliters!!!!!!!!

    Actually I think we might be talking two different things. Are you talking about the ones that go in the string or the ones on the Limbs. I've never heard of LS that tear on the limbs or are not durable, now the ones in the strings that's a whole different story...

    Anymore votes for this, we're running about 90% for limbsavers.

    Without a doubt! Limbsavers work better than BowJax.
