string silencers.
 
How many of you use string silencers and what kind do you prefer. I used to use the cat wisker style but need to replace them with something. Is there any better product out there or should i stick with the cat wiskers.

I have found the cat whiskers to work just as good as anything out there and alot cheaper too. I would stick with the cat whiskers.

I have the cat whiskers, coupled with Limbsavers stick-on sliencers and I like that combination. But then again, shooting a 595 grain arrow will quiet down any bow!I've used the Limbsavers silencers that go in the string and they get chewed up pretty quickly if you shoot often enough.

I use the yarn puff ball ones or Beaver Balls (made from beaver fur supposedly).

All the rubber ones seem to make a whipping noise and these don't make that sound.

I have leeches on my old Nova they worked great also game me 3FPS in speed;)

Now I just use what came on my new Guide Series TecHunter Elite. They seem alright, I guess I haven't shot my bow without them so i can say if they do anything or not. I would assume so though.

I love my bows that need nothing at all. :)On the ones that do, I use bow hush and hush puppy. And sometimes a little mole skin on the belly of the limb.

All my bows come with the silencers on.[8D]

Stay with the cat whiskers, they're cheap, they seem last forever,they work and they are easy to install.

I like BowJax String Jax. They are very durable and will actually gain you a little speed if you locate them correctly:D

Yeah but they also fall off. I've had mine fall off after walking through the woods[8D].
I agree with MeanV2 the Bow Jax String Jax they work good.

RE: string silencers.
 
What size of the Bow Jax String Jax do you prefer. I just looked them up and see several sizes. Also do you put them on he cables as well?

MeanV2: Where do you locate yours to gain speed? And how much do you gain.

I have always liked my Catwiskers but figured if there was something better i might give them a try.

Thanks for the input, my bow is not very noisy but i guess it is something i have always used so i just continue to.


MeanV2 12-05-2007 07:12 AM

I locate them where the Speed nocks would go. Gain is minimal but it's better than losing any speed. The Ultra II string jax only come in one size. They do come in Olive, Black, Clear, & Brown. I stock all colors. You can check them out on my website.;)

So do the Simms String Shox...I'm not a big fan of the leeches though.....The "fingers" break off pretty quickly. I've never used the jax so I can't speak intelligently on those. I'm not a fan of cat whiskers though.
