How much does cat whiskers slow down a modern set up, I'm shooting a Mathews no cam at 68 lbs, it seems like a no brainer to go ahead and quite up your rig a little but of all the bows I've seen in the last few years no ones sporting any cat whiskers, why is this-are they just out of style or are they somehow problematic?

Maybe 3-4 feet at most but well worth it. I have a lot left over, just PM me and I will mail some. I shouls have black, brown and green if I remember correctly

I still use them. You won't find a better string silencer than cat whiskers plus they are extremely durable

I have them on all 3 of my bows. I like them over anything else I have used

They are the best string silencer and have used them on many bows, however don’t have them on my Prodigy as it’s fairly quiet. 4-5 fps loss is about it. Learn to tie them on correctly with ball shape can be found on YouTube

Put in the right location and you won’t loose any speed.

Most bows are so quiet and vibration free I wouldn’t waste my time tying them on.

I used to use cat whiskers, but not now since my bows have speed nocks, they're not too loud.

Spoken from some one that obviously hasn't tried either..........lol. They WILL help.

Maybe you just shoot noisy junk. There was a time when cat whiskers helped a lot but
It’s not 1990 anymore.

I think 2 fps loss at most and if you put them high with speed nocks maybe a 2 fps gain!

Most people now a days don’t use anything because the bows are already quiet and vibration free

So you think, put a set on your bowtechs, they make a huge difference.

I rock them partially for the silencing, partially for the looks. I really like a nice full cat whisker on my bows. Speed nocks look lame to me.

But not the dead mice kind. Those limp things are funny.

I use them on all my bows, I have my own chrono and they only slow it down 2 fps...I think one bow maybe was 3. Like others have said, I thought today's bows were quite and did not need them, but if you put them on, you will notice a difference.

They will make a quiet bow quieter.

Do they help yes...Do you need them on newer bows no...If they make you a more confident bowhunter tie them on...Alert on edge deer jump the string the same way with or with out string silencers.Last 15 deer i killed bows had no string silencers.If your going to use them use half the amount in a package to save weight and tie them close to the cams use just enough to take the vibe out.
