Guys putting some on my bow.
I've seen some installed just tied on themselves... Others are tied using serving material ..

X2 with hitman. They turn out really nice. Not sloppy like some. I'm in to aesthetics.

I used that video to do my cat whiskers and it work very well. I also found multi colorred rubber on the internet so I could mix it up and have 2 tone. Make for some cool silencers.

I use the same method mentioned in the video, it works very well for me.  I haven't tried them but the bass lure skirts come in some cool colors.

I've never liked the idea of rubber silencers. Ive always used fur and loved it.

Then I bought my now most favorite ever longbow from Dan Toelke. He makes the strings and puts in rubber silencers. When I realized that, I figured Id just replace them with my fur. However, after I shot it a bit I decided to give them a chance. After several months now, I actually love them. Dan changed my mind about them, and im certainly glad I held an open mind. Im going to have to learn to install them myself now...lol!

I use that same video to install cat whiskers. I like the "puff" you get. I do not secure them with glue until I am satisfied about any noise. Seems different bows like them in different positions.

I use lengths of old bowstring, but for all the fuss I am temped to buy a spool of new stuff.

I go with our Hawaiian friend. They look nice and work well. >>>------> Ken

I like Ryan's shorter whiskers that resemble a small ball on the string. I noticed that the long ones slap the string and make their own noise.

I do all min like that now, have used wool yarn, fur and leather, none work better for me than the short whiskers.
Stay sharp, Kenny.

I use the same video posted by Hitmantoto.  I have a few bows with beaver fur silencers but mostly rely on catwhiskers.  Don't add significant weight when wet.

I use the 3" zip ties I get at Walmart instead of serving material.  Quick and easy to install.
