I like muskrat on longbows and wool yarn on recurves (use the yarn for the puff and to wrap the ends of string where they hit limbs

Depend the string material,with dacron you can use almost all silencer type ,rubber,acrylic or natural yarn.
If you use modern material string,like astro flight,go with musk oz yarn,is the best silencer for this kind of string.

The Navajo Wool silencers that Jim Neaves(Centaur) sells are my favorite. They are also available from 3Rivers.

Yarn......I have had good luck with string leeches also, but they are ugly. Wool yarn is my favorite! I make my own.

I have used all kinds but Terry Greens girls Bow Hush and Hush Puppies is by far the best I have used. They have a liitle deal you can order on in the shooters forum I think. Scott

I really like cat whiskers. Plain and simple. If one set doesn't quiet a bow down enough for me I tie on a second smaller set.

String puffs made from 20% wool and 80% acrylic.

Wool, beaver

DGF · December 03, 2011, 10:52:00 PM

I just switched from beaver balls to wool from bow hush/hush puppy and noticed a huge difference. The wool wins hands down.

I've been using 1"+ pieces of leather boot lace for many years now. Soak them overnight in Pitch Blend or SnoSeal and they never take on any water. Very durable and work great. I also have some Llama fur that works very well.
