String Silencers?

[mscampbell75]

My strings are on the way!  Thanks Bobby Graham.  

This is my 1st time setting up a recurve. (or traditional bow period)  My long bow, the prev owner had it set up already.  

What string silencers would you recommend and why?
I dont really like cat wiskers. (looks more than anything)

I'm not big on cat wiskers either - although they work great. I just love my beaver fur silencers - quiet and very traditional looking.

[mscampbell75]

Exactly,  I like the more of the traditional look.

I used 100% wool yarn... In an OD/Yellow.. I like it!!!

Catwhiskers here. . . only because they do not weigh down when wet and they do not catch all the stick-ems.  I love the looks of fur silencers, but. . .sitting on stand picking off burrs is no fun to me! (Besides after so many pics the wool or fur is ruined-ugh!)

Oh yea- check out this current thread on the "how to" of silencers.

heres another good one on how to make your own yarn string silencers

[mscampbell75]

Thanks guys!  I had seen hushpuppies and bow hush but was unsure of quality.  

The yarn how to seems good.  Thanx

I just use raw wool, fresh off the farm, the stuff kinda stinks but it has a lot of oils in it to make it waterproof, it looks cool and that doesn't hurt anything.

With out a doubt the Musk Ox is incredible.

Less than $3 of Wool-Ease yarn will make you enough to last the rest of your life.
