I use the $6 dollar one's they are close to catwhiskers

Nice, I always used cat whiskers years ago when I was a kid, and first started shooting. I've been considering going back to them.

 

Still use catwhiskers. They last the life of the string and do a great job at keeping the bow quiet.

 

same 2 small cat whiskers in the same position.

 

You will not beat catwhiskers with anything on the market.
Try to get them as close to the cam as you can.
They will work the best for sound and speed loss.

 

Catwhiskers here..

 

I use monkey tails, but I am not sure they do anything. My bows are pretty quiet anyway.

 

I can't remember the last time I used string silencers.

 

lol i was thinkin same thing... i take em off first thing if i get a bow that has em.. just make sure everything is tight with no buzzin or rattles and send it

 

Nothing. Don't want to lose 100-200 FPS.

 

When you post numbers like that, someone is going to believe them.

 

I’ve been running limbsaver string leeches for years and have no complaints. The old style that resembled the letter z never seemed to last longer than a couple months but after they changed the design they’ve held up well. I’ve got some on a bow that are now installed on the 3rd string set and still going strong.

 

I’ve been using wishbones.
No idea if they do much b

 

I live and hunt in AZ and I don't use silencers on the string. Never had a problem at near or far distances on animals

 

Just the stock monkey tails and I'm not convinced they make that big of a difference out of a tuned bow. Everything added to the strings also take off some speed as well.

 

I'm still hooked on the bowjax.

 

Wishbones. They seem to help a bit.

 

I've used Catwhiskers on previous bows but on my current setup I'm not running any string silencers.

 

Had whiskers on my last strings, this set is staying bare.. but if I were to put something on again it would be whiskers.

 

Cat Whiskers tied on with a constrictor knott.

Otherwise I run without them

 

Beaver balls/Beaver Tails.

Or for my Black Widow bows and a few other recurves:

Spider Silencers. They look bad-ass.

You get a free set of them with any BW fast flite or flemish twist dacron!

 

I don't use anything. The newer bows that I have are very quiet.

 

Beaver Balls on trad bows
Monkey Tails/Apex : easy install, min.speed loss
Jax : do the job but hard install/wear replace
Leeches : durable, quiet, robust, min. Speed loss
Whiskers are old school cool, quiet the shot but rob speed.
I like the whiskers but the tails and apex are so easy to install/replace.
Sims leeches are probably best all around in my opinion.

 

I use cat whiskers. However, I got the best compliments from other shooters when I put beaver balls on my compound. I had been wanting to try it and saw another AT user using beaver balls. That gave me the motivation to follow through.

 

Monkey tails

 

Catwhiskers on the string, apex on the cables and limbdriver cord.

 

Not for everyone, but nothing quits a bow down like a heavy arrow.

 

What would you consider a heavy arrow? I'm currently shooting a 456 grain arrow at 290 fps. I've shot a variety of 400 gr thru 500 gr arrows and couldn't hear a noticeable difference. Are we talking something like 550gr+ maybe?

 

Absolutely nothing for the last 20 years…

 

Lately, I like these:

Wishbone String and Cable Dampener

The Wishbone String and Cable Dampener will make a noticeable reduction of noise and vibration on your bows string and cables. This easy to install dampener does not require a bow press so anyone can quickly add a set to their bow and instantly quiet their set up. At 14 grains each, the Wishbone...
