I like to use wool yarn, it is cheap, queit and last a long time.

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

Hey Jeff, is'nt that the bow that is "supposed" to bag a bunnie or two at the upcomining Bunny Stomp?

I like to start small as I figure too much baggage on the string is robbing me of power.  I have about 1/5th the wool A.A. shows on his Bear on my Dream Catcher and it is my quietest bow.  I also have wool on my Bear Kodiak Hunter.  I just have bush buttons on my Bear Kodiak, and everything else has beaver fur strips.  

I play my brace height until I get a tolerable thummm instead of a THWAP.

Ratty beaver on my Ben Pearson Hunter (much recycled & a bit of string wax added).

I'm still have the original bowstring that came with my 37# Blacktail. The bowstring came with a pair of cat whiskers already installed on it. I trimmed the cat whiskers so they were half the diameter they were. The cat whiskers are on the bottom bow in the photo.

Yep! I also rap the loops with yarn to reduce string slap. Jason

Most any material will work to silence the string--fur, wool, rubber, even "puffs" made from string material.

The "catch" is tuning them--getting them in the right location, and not making them too large or too small.

My preferance is "cat whiskers", for convenience's sake.  I tie them on around the string and they easily adjusted/tuned.  They work very well, I can make them match my string if I want, they don't hold scent or burrs or water.  Works for me.

OK, you got me.  Just placed the order.

I found my llama hair ones work ok, but they are pretty much white and I noticed they sure stand out in the brown woods, especially as dusk sets in.

I use woolie whispers, I get mine from Mike at the Nocking Point he has a website and he is out of KS, great guy to deal with, the woolie whispers work great for me and they hold up great also

JimB

I've used several,including Cat Whiskers and Woolie Whispers and they have worked well.Probably the best has been Hush Puppies.I need to order some more soon.

Ya need Hush Puppies Robo. Ya don't want them bunnies jumpin' the string.  :bigsmyl:
