I want to take my bowhush silencers down a little since I am shooting a heavier and stiffer arrow now. Had a brilliant idea. Use hairclippers and a guard to get the uniform. Apparently shears were invented for a reason. That wool is tough. Had to resort to scissors. Anyone else try this?
I used scissors, never thought of the shears...apparently that's a good thing. :biglaugh:
Yet another reason to find some of those old-style "shears" in the antiques stores. The "hairclippers" that are powered by your hand, like a pair of scissors or garden shears.
Anyone seen or know what I've talking about?

AAACK! You mean you want him to tear the wool out? I remember being attacked by those things as a kid! I don't think they really cut anything; they just grip it and rip it! :scared:
Seriously, if modern, sharp electric shears won't cut it, those antique torture devices you mentioned certainly won't. My eyes still water just to think of them.

I use scissors to trim them to desired length after they are installed and shot a bit.
