If you sent in your warranty card they will warrant them for a year. Did you dry fire the bow? How much contact do you have between the string and the stopper? Have you shortened the rods?

In my experience they do not answer their emails. Anytime I have been to their website my anti-virus software warns me of a virus. I just checked under the search "bucks 'n ducks sts" and it appears their website is non-functional.

Don't throw the split ones away. I glued some leather to my junkers but haven't tried them out yet. Finally came across a gasket punch the right size.

Hi Michihunter! Welcome to this forum.
Thanks Ischa, I finally signed on after reading many of the threads on this site. Sounds like a bunch of great people here. Just purchased a 2009 Exomax and I'm enjoying shooting it. Unbelievably accurate and fast as well. Installed my STS as suggested by Boo and others. Purchased a piece of 3/8" aluminum rod from Home Depot ($6.00) and cut two pieces about 1/4" shorter than the rod sent with the STS. I have the string just touching the bumpers now and it seems to be working well. I have learned a lot from the people here and I'm sure I will continue to so. Thanks.

Another option is to purchase stoppers through
Dan Horton at Meanv Archery: www.meanvarchery.com

BTW I got a thousand shots out of my first set of EDS stoppers on my phoenix-- with a little doctoring with marine goop to patch a split and pad the front.

An employee at my work place is over a thousand shots with his vortex without any damage that I can see. His rods were cut back from the start; Also it is good to rotate the stoppers every 25 or 30 shots.

In the past I have asked on threads like this how many shots people got
out of their stoppers, but never got a sense of the upper limit for the
EDS stoppers. It will differ I presume with the different draw weight bows.
