Most effective string silencer for recurves ?

[Gordy]

Looking to reconfigure my CM and BW recurves.

I love beaver balls for the longbows. Have liked the yarn balls on the recurve but they aren't too attractive.
The cat whiskers don't seem to do the trick.

Has anyone tried the musk ox silencers ?

Looking for something attractive but more importantly something that really works.

Good question...wondering the same.

On recurves I've always had the best luck with the whiskers. Longbows pretty much anything will work.

My favorite is the woolly wisps. Much easier to put on the the beaverballs and much lighter.  I usually trim them down a little after I put them on. They seem to last a good long time also.

Bow Hush and Hush Puppies on a recurve - nothing better IMHO.

3 Rivers installed Musk Ox silencers on my Tomahawk when I bought it. Seams to the job quite well.

Cat whiskers work as well or better at silencing than anything I've tried.  One thing a lot of folks overlook is the silencers can be tuned just like anything else.  I've seen bows that, by moving the silencer up or down the string as little as an inch, made a world of difference.

Wooly whisperers and bow hush for me.

I like the string leeches but there are a lot I have not tried.

[Bill Turner]

I prefer the Bow Hush and Hush Puppy combination on my recurves.

Yeah I second the string leeches been using them for years. Meijer's sell's all their hunting stuff half off in january I usually buy A couple set's at A reasonable price.

Yarn string puffs. They are the ONLY think I've had any luck with.

I've been told by several reliable sources that soaking the string loops in laquor thinner can also make a significant difference in quieting a bow. Has anyone tried this?

[BobW]

never tried one, but how about a Mountain Muffler string?

I'm a fan of Bow Hush & Hush Puppies, but I shoot longbows.  have a 'curve that needs something, but I haven't gotten around to playing much with it.  Likely try Terry's stuff when I do.

Hush Puppy's!!!

Gordy,
I'm using catwhiskers and Bowhush on my Robertson Vision Falcon. Quieter than my Widow PL's. BUT, when using the Bowhush I take it apart and only use two strands unstead of the three that it comes with. Quiets them right down.

I know some don't look on them as very traditional, but I really like the string leeches as well.  
For almost dead silent I go with B50 dacron, Bow Hush, Hush Puppies at the 1/4 marks and string leeches at the 1/3 marks.  I'm sure I am robbing several feet/sec with all that hanging on the string, but my 55# Fox recurve bow will still spit a pretty fast heavy arrow and I don't think you can get a bow any quieter.

Yeah I like the double silencers too. Had never thought of string leeches !
I already wrap the string ends with wool yarn.  Works great and much better than limb pads for me.

I have Musk Ox slincers on my widow and my bear t-d, they work very well. The best I have ever used.
