Added a bow quiver, selway slide on, changed up the rest material and reduced contact. Everything is very quiet and accurate now. I feel like the extra weight of the quiver reduces a lot of vibration, especially on the mamba, which i consider a light weight bow. Also the rubber slide on pieces seem to absorb a lot of vibration.
Thank for all the recommendations.

I did do those yarn balls from that tutorial, for sure. But the biggest thing in the end was having way too much leather on the shelf and then the mass of a bow quiver, by far the most improvement. New string, yarn puffs, heavy arrow, bow quiver, good shelf material and wa la, good quiet bow.
