Title: Brush Button Location?
Post by: xtrema312 on February 21, 2009, 11:55:00 AM
I have never used them and just threaded on a set.  There were not instructions. Were do you set your brush buttons on your string?  Do you set them with a little gap, just touching or seated a little more contact and why

I have mine just touching so there's no gap .

X - I haven't used them since the 1960s and only rarely are they missed. If there's any gap, they let brush slip in. If there's no gap, or even with a small gap, they're contacting the limb tip harshly with every shot. Maybe it's just an aesthetic preference, but the less stuff hanging from my bowstring, the better my bow seems to shoot. Whatever works, works. Dave

Ok thanks.  I am just trying them out.  I will try to keep a very slight sliver of a gap.  I hunt a lot of field edge and overgrown fields with waist to shoulder high grass.  I thought maybe they would come in handy.

Trash can , They make to much noise on each shot . Slapping against limbs .

Like Dave and Bowmarks, the ones I tried years ago weren't on my string long.

I don't use them any more but when I did I fitted mine snug against the limbs so there was no gap for a tree limb to wedge in.
