trouble with cat whiskers

[t3]

i just had some cat whiskers put on my bow and the the top one keeps sliding down my string when i shoot. what can i do to keep it still?

[sdmonster]

I had mine put on at a pro shop and haven't had a problem with mine. I would take the bow back where you had them put on and have them do it again. I'm sure they would do it for nothing. If you put them on yourself tighten it up alittle and it should be just fine.

You can serve them in....just like a peep sight.......they won't go anywhere.

Good Luck!

Use a zip tie , be sure to pull it very tight . You can also tie it in place with dental floss .

If you had them put one at a "pro shop" take it back and tell them to do it right. They should know better than just tie a knot in them. THey work best when served into the string. You can use a small cable tie very tightly.

Good Luck,

Dave

didn't know people still used cat whiskers.

I tie the cat whiskers themselves in place. Just an overhand knot with the rubber and pull it tight, no problem with movement and I find it to work best this way for me. It may not be pretty but in the woods it doesn't matter!!!

Lots of guys here still use them. It's one of the first things I do when I get a new bow. Off goes the factory silencers and I tie on some cat whiskers.

i just took off some simms string leeches and put the cat whiskers on. Major difference in sound reduction
