String Silencers
« on: February 26, 2019, 07:08:46 AM »
Switching from trad back to compound I was wondering what I should put on my bow as far as a silencer? Used string leaches and they do a great job on my recurve. Right now my Mathews has got those monkey tail things that you just strap to the string and I rate them next to garbage. The top limb one keeps falling down! I never liked cat whiskers either. What’s everyone else use? I think wrapping my string with beaver fur might look silly hahaha
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen

String leeches and a string suppressor.

I don't run anything on the strings anymore.  Set of limbsavers on the limbs and that's it.

I’ll have to look into limbsavers. Forgot about those. Stuck em on a real handshocky recurve before and they worked great!

Put the monkey tails on your cables, not your strings. On your string put cat whiskers on. If you have a split limb compound get some vibration dampeners like limb saver. Make sure there is plenty of room for your cams to roll over without interference, keeping them about a 1/2" away from the cam.

Cat whiskers are by far the best for noise and you can install them without a press 2x better then leaches. If your going to use leaches put them on your string and cables.
