ORIGINAL: Dnk
KLS, I wanted the toughest material that was also reasonable price wise. I found that in order for the buzz to be reduced the most the dampening material had to be really tight against the string. There are two layers of fast flight string material around the cat whiskers. They are served on so tight that I need leather gloves with duct tape wrapped around the fingers. I also have the string stretched well beyond normal for the bow so when the string is in the compression of the material is increased. This stuff is pretty tough as well. The cat whiskers I use are the newer thicker stuff and there is three widths of cat whiskers compressed around the string. The whiskers don't come flying off either as some expect.
KLS, that is twenty cents (CDN) for the secret! I take Paypal, LOL!
LOL,the check is in the mail...
actually, I hope I didnt come across as questioning your use of materials... I was just wondering how the two silencers compared to each other, if someone thats used them both givesa bignod toward the whiskers, I'd be temped to give them a try on my crossbow, otherwise I'll probably just stick with what I have until I get a different string...
my birthday is on the 31st and I put the "hint" outtoward my wife and kids about the DNK string again, surprisingly it didnt fly at christmas, we'll see if it does for my birthday...
