Bow socks= quieter bow?
« on: August 23, 2016, 07:11:00 AM »
I purchased some camo bow socks for both of my bows. The ones 3 rivers sells. I put them on last night and shot and I swear my bow is quieter.
Is it just me or has anyone else tried these and gotten the same result?
I'm certainly not complaining.

Yes. I went to Walmart and bought a pair of stockings made for small girls. I cut the legs off and the toes and use thick rubber bands to act as blousing straps. I roll tuck each end of the leggings onto the limbs of my Super Kodiak. Nice and quiet and the gloss finish is covered. No loose fitting fabric.

If you can find those fake tattoo sleeves it'll do the same thing.

I've used bow socks for years, but can honestly say I haven't noticed any difference in bow speed.

Those old cotton bow socks with the tuck stitching and the elastic made bows shoot quieter.  They also slowed bows down a little.  Everyone around here used them.  Everyone was certain that they would not get a deer if they didn't have them.  I still have a pair, collector items, going up in value every year.
