I had a Bob Lee take down recurve It also was VERY loud.I had a factory string, started with factory recomended brace hight went up and down, two sets of string silencers, mole skin between string and limbs. Finally gave up and got a Shrew. I am now a happy camper.

I started using the string leaches by limb saver this year. Not much to look at but very functional in the field. No burrs, dont absorb water. One or two pair combined with the rubberweed stoppers work wonders.

Bob Lee recommends you dip the ends of the string in lacquer thinner to remove the wax and quiet things down, I know that I need to brace my Lee recurve a lot higher than they suggest and it likes a heavy arrow to get it to quiet down, it is real critical on brace height when it comes to noise.

I use a B50 string with wool at the ends (yes, even on a longbow) and wool silencers, 8" brace. Very quiet. The wool on the ends made a big difference.

OK RAISED THE BRACE UP TO 8 1/2" AND IT SHUT THE BOW BIG TIME. I ALSO PUT LIMBSAVERS ON IT BEFORE I RAISED THE BRACE HEIGHT I'M SURE THEY HELP! AND IT DOESNT HURT TO KEEP THEM THERE SO I'LL WORRY WHEN THEY FALL OFF. THANKS FOR ALL THE INPUT.

Matty, have a B.L. Sig. L/B also and there is only one time it got noisy, limbs were loose. I had not checked them in a long time, run about 8" on B.H. with pair of W.W. (Quiet): My brother also has the same with string leaches and it is quiet, we both use B50. Just a thought!
