String Silencers and Velocity Loss?

[Terry Green]

Kirk, I know those fir ones lay down and look like drowned rats, but 'good' wool doesn't that much.  Plus, all you have to do it pluck the string a few time and the water flies with ease.

Seriously, Who worries about stuff like this?

Yep, what he said.

Not something I worry about, but there are some out there that part of their justification for using super skinny
strings (6-8 strand) is less surface area resistance as the string moves forward through the air on release compared to thicker strings.
Now that is really getting down into the minutia.

I was wondering when skinny strings would be mentioned.

I like a fat string, 14 strands of B-55 and big puffy raw wool yarn string silencers. Slow and steady wins the race.

I bought two pounds of ugly gray spinner skirt material off the big sight. I use two layers about 1.5 long and use the smallest zip tie to hold them on. Very effective And enough for ever very cheap.
I figure the zip tie prolly not any heavier than knotting them on the string.

Yep! There's a lot of static out there....

Yep, stay focused on the Signal, and don't be distracted by the noise. 

(BTW, I don't like skinny strings or skinny arrows at all)
