I put wool on every string i make for my selfbows. Its cheap and works very well. If they get pull of debris just pull em off and make new ones.

Most sefbows I've seen did'nt need silencers if set up right.  They are so quiet!!

Rainman is right! Most selfbows don't need string silencers. I like the look of string silencers on any bow so I have been using sheeps wool. Works great even with smaller strips and repells rain.

Never needed any on mine I had like Rainman stated. I now use the wool that Terry sells for my longbows and then I need only one of them on the bottom.
