Title: string silencers

I shoot a recurve. I deer hunt , often in the fog.It gets pretty wet. Any ideas on the best string silencers?

I use Musk Ox. It seems to hold up really good,,,even when wet.

Rubber cat whiskers, best I have used for quieting  string noise, cheap,weatherproof,act as a wind indicator, and they last as long as your string even longer.

Just remember....cut your distance by 5 yards...cause not only will your silencers hold water, no matter the material...so will your bow, arrow rest, arrow, string, and feathers...your bow will likely be 10 FPS slower over all no matter the silencer material....so pick a spot a little higher when all your equipment is wet....TRUST ME...been there done that.
