Right before a hunt, you can put nail polish on the tips of your arrow rest. The only draw back of this is you might ave to do it a day in advance so it doesnt smell. But it really, really silences the rest. I shoot an SQ2 with XX78 arrows that weigh around 540 grains, and at a tournement today, i got a bunch of compliments on how quiet my bow was. The guy was sayin all he could here was the arrow. So i was pumped up. lol. I also put rubber between accesories.
