As an experiment I tried putting some of the little micro-limbsavers on the limbs of the 38# PSE Zone limbs. (I've given up of the #34 Hoyt GM limbs) I tried the limbs first on the GM riser and then twisted the string up an put'em on the Mizar. The string is a fairly light small diameter FF string with no other silencer materials. Without the limbsavers it was quite noisy and the tips danced a bit after the shot. Then I placed them on the limb tips so the string just lightly compressed them with the bow strung but at rest. It made a really significant difference in the noise and limbtip activity level.
I will definantly be buying more of them.
I did not think to do a before and after chrono test, but I did weigh one and it weighed 30 odd grains---so in might have a slight impact on arrow velocity; but I doubt it would be as much as putting stuff on the string.
the only down side is that I forgot to really clean the limb before I stuck them on and one worked loose---but they come 3 to a pac so I replaced it after proper cleaning
