Default Need to quieten my bow a little more.

Added limb savers and string leeches and made a huge difference. I still have what I can only describe as string "slap". There is no resonation or vibration, just still a slap sound. Any ideas?

String leeches work fine, but they wear out really fast. Both of mine have already come off. Cat whiskers or tarantulas work fine, but the rubber is more weather-proof. It may be your cables making the noise. Look into a cable guard that may have some kind of dampener to quieten your bow down just a little more. Hope I helped. Good luck huntin!
