Quieting a couple of 70's K-Mags

Interested in hearing how you guys with older K-mags get them quiet. Specifically, one is a '72 and one is a '76. Both, of course, have Dacron strings.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills. He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

My 65 liked a higher brace height as a hear most do, beaver balls offset thirds(heterodyning?) really helped. Also read that bow hush really helps too but have not tried.

My dad shot a '75 for 20 years. His brace height was 8" and he used puff silencers. He shot 28" 2016's with 150 heads. That bow was quiet. His string was a 14 strand B50. He also shot 3 under off a weatherest.

Right now I've got beaver silencers and velcro along the string grooves. The release is quiet, but both sound as if the bottom limb has some vibration to it. Could that just be a product of shooting 3 under with these bows? I don't hear it with my other bows.
