Title: Quieting a Kodiak Mag
Post by: PASSTHRU2 on November 04, 2010, 05:42:00 AM: What do you guys do, other than string sileners, to quiet your Kodiak Mags or other vintage recurves?

Post by: d. ward on November 08, 2010, 07:15:00 AM: food for thought ? I'd try brace height first.Every time you add any weight like silencer brush buttons what ever to your string it slows the string down a little tiny bit.To much stuff can cause more problems bd
