Default tip on silencing your rest

place a little bit of clear fingernail polish on the tips of your rest to make it much quieter. This has to be odne pretty often but its well worth it

the above reply caught me off-guard and i had a good laugh out of it. no offense, its just im readin along and all of a sudden &quot;hard as nails definetly lasts the longest&quot; but seriously yes ive tried it when i used the bodoodle and it worked pretty good.now what i do is instead of using a whole piece of shrink tubing on each arm, i just use about 1/8&quot; on the tip.this has lasted me all season

My local outfitter highly recommends the nail polish method and claims it works very well. I haven't tried it but yet i haven't heard any negative things about it.
