Best string for Black Widow?
« on: December 13, 2008, 08:07:00 PM »
I am looking for the quietest but still fast string for my Widow.  I have done most everything else to get my bow consistently quiet without the results I want.
I read names of other strings but have no idea what they are.
What is the best string to use for shooting 750-800 grain arrows with about 69 lbs.

I can't keep that string quiet to save my life, although it has saved a few deer's lives.
I have done everything on the planet to no avail.

I used a padded loop D97 on my Widow with bow hush and hush puppies and would get comments on how quiet it was.

The best results I have had came from 8 strand 450+ with 12 strand paddded loops and home made wool silencers, and a lot of playing around with my brace height. place your wool just above the fade outs of the limbs.

Try a B-50 Dacron and if that doesn't do the trick, use the Bow hush yarn wraps and whatever string silencers work best for you. You won't lose as much speed as you will gain in quietness.
