what are those additions you've made to the vixen looks like some form of sts . and by the limb tips? ... foam?

Thanks BOB, I know slower will do the same job and is quieter. Near the limb tips are mole skins to quieten the slap of the string and I use (L) brackets with Simms Limb Savers attached to the straighter riser. I have a newer model Vixen that has not been modified. The fletching is Quick Spin Shrink Fletch.
Thanks for your comments.

How much could the mole skin actually slow the speed down ? I have a 2007 Phoenix and I am fixing to add spider legs to the string and will try the mole skin also . I don't want to sacrifice TOO much speed but quiet is good too .
