An archery bow comprises an archery bow body defining opposing limb tips and a bowstring extending between the limb tips. The archery bow includes an elongate member extending from the bow body, the elongate member having a length and a proximal end arranged adjacent the bowstring. Additionally, the archery bow includes a dampening element made of a vibration dampening material mounted to the proximal end between the proximal end and the bowstring, the dampening element having a contact face adapted to contact the bowstring. In certain embodiments, the dampening element includes a laterally protruding rib extending outward from the contact face along at least a portion thereof to engage the bowstring when the bowstring is released.
