Claim:
A string vibration suppressor for a compound bow that has rigging including a bowstring extending from a pulley member and a yoke harness with separate strands extending from respective opposite ends of an axle member supporting said pulley member at the distal end of a limb, such that the spacing between said bowstring and harness changes as said bowstring is moved between brace and drawn conditions, comprising: first and second side supports constructed and arranged for support from opposite ends of such an axle member; means associated with said side supports for connectively engaging respective strands of the yoke harness of such rigging; spacer means for holding said side supports in approximately parallel association; and a bowstring vibration dampening bumper component held, by bumper-holding structure associated with said side supports, at a position selected to place said bumper component in contact with the bowstring of such rigging in brace condition and out of contact with said bowstring in drawn condition, when said strands are engaged by said side supports.
