And they need to be cut to about an inch? And how do you serve something like that? I just thought you tied them on?
Then when you take off the clip and seperate the strands it puffs out into a nice little ball. Repeat on the other end of the string. If you need more silencing than that, you can tie on 3-4 strips on each end instead of just two. Served on like that they will not come off until you take them off. They'll outlast your string. And being shortened that way they won't flap around at all.
I threw them on the bow, went out, took one shot and my jaw dropped! Not only did it make the string quieter than being bare, it's quieter than it was with good leeches on it!

I just tied the strips on there and then trimmed a bit off each side. I just tied them on there like the beginning of tying your shoe [8D], I'd say they'll come loose and I'll have to tighten them.

Yeah, that's the way the package says to do it. Of course, they're in the business of selling whiskers, so you have to buy more of 'em when they come loose and fly off. And they will. Not like it'll run you to the poorhouse replacing them but it can be annoying. Serving them on is far and away the better thing to do.
If you go to a fishing supply store that has a good selection of lure building supplies, you can get a roll of living rubber spinnerbait skirting for about 15 bucks and have a lifetime supply of whiskers. It's the exact same stuff and you can get it in all kinds of different colors. How's about a hot pink string from gibblet and flourescent chartruese whiskers for your 3D bow? [8D]
