I am currently using cat wiskers to silence my string but in the rain they hold water.
I have been reading about the TRU Accelerator Balls. They claim to silence the string and add up to 12 fps.
Any one have any experiences with these or heard good/bad things about them?
I have also been concidering the Ultra Bow Jacks. they say "minimum" speed loss.
What do you think? Whats the best?

Been using cat whiskers for years..they are rubber, never had them hold water. Strange. IMO they are the best. I have no experience with the others you mentioned, but String Leaches work quite well.

A friend of mine had string leaches on his bow and after a week of having them they just flew out and almost took out his eye. I dont know if they were put in wrong or what, he had them installed at keystone country store i would think they would know what they are doing.

I shouldn't say the "hold" water but we were hunting in the rain and when I shot the water came flying out of the wiskers in a big ball of mist. I am just looking for the best and I know guys here always have 2 cents worth!

I have rubber spider legs and String Leeches on mine , it's very quiet . If you try the String Leeches and have problems with them being ejected then serve them on , mine are served on with dental floss.

I've never seen the need to use anything until a couple weeks before the season opens, then i install string leeches and serve them in.They work great!

What do you guys mean by "serve" them in. I have just seen them stuck in the string spliting the string in half.

I use the string leaches and have had no problem with them so far and have taken literaly hundreds of shots since they were put on.
Serving them in is the same idea as serving in a peep site.This will keep it much tighter and less chance of them falling out.

My advice would be to shoot the bow the way you are going to shoot all the time. Don't shoot it all year and then throw string silencers in right before season. Adding string silencers changes the dynamics of you bow. Very often adding something like that will require you to re-tune your bow to some degree.

Besides string silencers are good for your bow and string. It helps dampen the vibrations that wear things out. All my bows have them, even target bows. I actually think my bows are bit more accurate with them.

In my opinion just stick with the cat whiskers, they work well for the money. I prefer the yarn puff balls myself. They just get better the longer you use them. I've had one pair for going on six years now. I think they cost like a buck or two. I went thru two sets of string leaches in like 3 months when they first came out. And I don't think they are that quiet. All the ruber ones make a whipping noise you can hear when you shoot. The yarn puff balls and beaver balls don't make that noise. At least not that I can hear. Of course they are pain in the rain and thickets though.

I will add that when I was using the string leaches I was shooting hundreds of shots a day, every day of the week pretty much. It's not like I put them in and they flew out or broke after a few shots. Maybe 700 to 1000 shots? I haven't tried any of the new ones though. I know the ones that came with my bowtech didn't last very long.
