Default Gold Tip arrows to noisy across arrow rest

I use a Mathews overdraw (2 prong) arrowrest. Anyone experience this and what corrective action besides using the cheaper rubberized prong silencer. Currently using the long lasting teflon silencers but way to noising against carbon arrow.

Isn't there a pretty significant speed loss by adding mole skin?

Try shooting into sand if it's available or just rub them with burlap or coarse cloth to smooth the finish on the arrows. Helps alot.

I always wondererd if you couldnt coat those prongs with a graphite substance like graphite and epoxy? It would add a little but I would bet it would shut them up and also last prettner forever!

You can use car or furniture polish on your Gold Tips, and it'll quiet them tremendously.

put a thin coat of epoxy or nail polish on the prongs. ive also heard that you can sand the arrows with 500 grit sand paper to smooth the finish but i havent tryed that yet. goldtip has a new finish on there arrows that is suposed to be smoother than the dark green plus its camo color. i just orderd a dozen yesterday.

These sound like band aid solutions to the bigger issue. Is the major resolution to try the new arrow or switch arrow brands?
