Title: Bow hush question.
Post by: Lewis Brookshire III on November 07, 2015, 09:19:00 AM
Has anyone continued thier bow hush around the string loop and back down the string instead of just staying below the loops? I assume it would thicken the loop but my string grooves are big enough to compensate the added thickness.

I am going to try a FF string on an old recurve and wondered if the bow hush on the loops would help "pad" more than just the normal padded loops and give me some extra insurance.

I hope this question makes sense...lol.

Bow Hush is Awesome I have it on all my bows where the string wraps touch the limbs..  I haven't tried what you described  but curious how it will work for you, as long as the loop still sits in the grooves (maybe widen them with a rat tail file) its plenty fine and i'm sure even more quieter.

I have always done it that way and found it works much better and have had no problems with string grooves.Kip

It really serves no purpose or accomplishes anything to go around the loops I experimented with that in the beginning and had no value

I think a more important question here is whether an "old" recurve can handle fast flight.
