Reds didn't last long anything better?

[Pa.hunter]

Was out shooting today and noticed both the reds are split. I have only had the 380 sense Christmas and only shot mayb 50 shots out of it. I always store it with the cocker rope on so if the string stretches it dosen't lay on them. I have kept the string about a 1/8" off the pads like they said at the dealer. My question is there a better upgrade for these or a way to make them last longer I see Wyvern's has what they call Matrix suppression system by Horizontal Archery for half the price of the Reds. Has anyone tried these

Thanks for any help

My strings I keep 1/4 inch off the REDS and I ground 1/3 of the ball off and I have a few hundred shots or so with no splits or any kind of damage ...I also twist the rubber every 20-25 shots to keep from hitting the same spot all the time.

My reds balls came ground down from the factory on my 405

Get some sleep Brother But they really did

So I want to make sure I get this right. Twist the string up some more till I get 1/4 off the reds then grind 1/3 off the top of the reds

Thanks Charlie

Or purchase Danny Miller's for $25 and forget about it

[Pa.hunter]

What does Danny Miller have? Our they better then the reds?

Thanks Charlie

I keep my strings 3/16-1/4" inch from the REDS as well as rotate them every dozen shots or so. If you look @ the stops closely... You will see a split/line in the center... I try to avoid the string from slapping this line dead on!

Thanks Swamp Donkey I am out playing now so I am going to ajust the string up and I have been rotating them. I have been looking around for just the rubber ends but I can't find them so I guess you have to buy the whole reds set up again

Don't grind the REDS but take them off & grind the ball under them down about a 3rd.

Just checked my 405, they also were already pre-ground approximately half way.

Danny Miller sells a set of string stoppers for the Matrix series bows that he calls"Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers"! They work great, are priced much less than REDS and the pads last much longer. Phone only, no internet.740-483-2312
