Like mentioned above, I have found there are slight variations in placement between B-50/55, D97 and 10Ring stings.  Even 1/8" can make a noticeable difference.

Another tune it exactly as you will be hunting it believer.

 I run catwiskers trimmed down about half their length.

Just to open a can of worms, if you start with a bow design that is inherently quiet, you are already more than half way there before string attachments.  Just sayin.

Learn, practice and pass on "leave no trace" ethics, no matter where you hunt.

20 grains of silencer weight will cause noticable arrow drop compared to without around 25-30 yards.
Pray like Tuck and shoot like Robin.

Just did some field testing at LTR and GRXH.  Took several shots and critters didn't start to move until the arrow hit them, or ground/brush past them.  Paracord is real quiet.
