Shooting split finger bows three under
« on: September 07, 2009, 10:32:00 PM »
I have been playing around with shooting a couple bows three under.  They are tillered for split so they make more noise and have more vibration shooting them three under.  I am shooting better three under.  I was wondering if there is anything I can do to compensate for the change to balance things back out like adding an extra silencer near one limb or something.

I shoot exclusively three under....Jake FR is right on the money....I use fox fur silencers a 3rd of the way down the string..and bump the nock point up an extra 1/8th inch.

I will play with the silencer location and move them in to the middle more.

Has anyone ever tried more silencer material or different spacing one from the other to try and offset the timing change to the limbs?  I got a used bow once that had the silencer spacing off from one end to the other, and it really made a noticeable difference when I balanced them out.  It was quieter and less vibration.  I am wondering if I can to that intentionally.
