Title: hand sanitizer string silencers
Post by: scrub-buster on September 12, 2018, 10:32:22 PM
I was shooting a bow I plan to hunt with this fall and it had a fair amount of a twang sound.  I know the normal material is fur strips and I have plenty of those but I wanted to try something different.   I noticed the holder for a bottle of hand sanitizer was made from thin silicone.  I cut it into strips and gave that a try.  It worked surprisingly well.  It really quieted down the bow.  I'm not crazy about the blue color.  I'm going to try to find some black silicone to replace it.

Clint. I have about 15 feet of cat whisker material, more than I will ever use. Stop by next week and I will give you as much as you want.
