Default how to quiet a wb rest

How do you guys that shoot wb's quiet them down? I shoot aluminums the rest fits perfectly not tight and not loose. I clean my arrows often which helps a bit. but if anyone has some tips I would like to hear them.

Bow string wax works good. Just put a real thin coating on your arrows.

Do you mean when you draw the bow or when you shoot it?

im guessing when ya draw, mine is quiet as hell when i shoot

besides cleaning the shaft, i know for pulling arrows out of 3d targets, we soap the shaft with a bar of soap, like ya do butter on corn on the cob. probably would work with this too

Get rid of the WB rest and go with a new one.

All hell breaks loose around here when my 5 kids have friends over. It ain't quite.

One simple way to quite a wb is to create a louder noise. it;s a term I'm just now creating called,

Noiseouflage.

I agree with bowfanatic. I just discovered this recently. I got sick and tired of breaking my back to pull my carbons out of 3ds. I put a light coat of wax on them and they come out soooo much easier. also quiets them on the draw too.
