Title: Quieting Checkmate Raven?
Post by: ILbowhunter1 on January 22, 2008, 03:44:00 PM
I just got a checkmate raven a few days ago and it is a accurate and fast shooting bow but it is a little noisy so was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to get the bow a little quieter.I am going to raise the BH some and probably shoot a heavier arrow. James

Had a Raven and it is a great little bow. Besides raising BH, maybe use a B-50 string and heavy arrows.  

I like to wrap the string ends in wool yarn too....which is similar in theory to bow hush. (I think)

Hey look, there it is in my avatar !   ;)
