Author Topic: How I silence a bow string. bucksdown Trad Bowhunter Member # 24419 posted                     apex that was great "how to" pictures for a hillbilly like me. i was thinking about ordering some of the other wool silencers but i assume the woolyarn will work just as well, and be a lot cheaper. looks like that roll would do lots of bows or one as many times as needed in a season if they got burrs or worn down. thanks Posts: 270 | From: ohio | Registered: Jul 2010  |  IP: Logged |  bornagainbowhunter Contributor 2013 Member # 21829 posted                        i really like the idea about the contact area of the string. I don't have a recurve right now, but have in the past, I used to put felt under the string where it contacted the limb. -------------------- But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

Man, let me tell you, they sure quieted it down more than the rubber silencers that was on the string! I won't be buying string silencers anymore! That roll should last me through many strings and it's quick and easy. -------------------- "TGMM" Family of the Bow.

By making my own wool puffs using AP's method, the bow is whisper quiet now. -------------------- Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 42# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains.
