[QUOTE="jon.henry755, post: 558917, member: 29115"] Hi Mike, I only have about 40 or 50 shots on the new soft cable stop. That's why I stated that I can't verify how long the new softer ones will last. I did get between 1300 and 1500 shots out of the original ones before a split finally developed. When I called PSE to order some replacements they told me the Vibracheck Dampeners were the exact same thing as the ones they were using on the TAC crossbows. It wasn't until I received a pair that I noticed the difference in the two materials. Since only one of my cable stops was split, I only needed to replace one of mine. Now I have one of each on my crossbow. After hearing the comments below about Thegunt getting 50 shots out of a set before they split, I'll now contact PSE in the next day or two and order a set of the original factory cable stops to have on hand as a back-up. From the very beginning when I received my crossbow, I always said that if I ever had a problem of my cable bumpers splitting to frequently I would remove my bumper rods and take about an eighth to a quarter of an inch off each rod or try seating the bumpers themselves a little deeper on the rods to prevent this problem. I got lucky because mine has been good in all these areas. Also, if you're experiencing excessive cable or serving wear in the area where your bowstring touches the under side of your bumper rods, you might want to consider having your rods smooth polished by a machine shop. Again, I have no problems in this area, but I know that Super 91 did have heavy wear in these areas and he took the approach I just outlined to resolve it. Just a thought! Jon [/QUOTE]
