Hitting tail right?? - only changed silencers
« on: April 10, 2010, 11:03:00 AM »
My rubber cat whiskers were recently replaced with badger fur. I now notice my 125 gr tipped arrows that were flying like darts with the rubber cat whiskers are now hitting the target tail right. Could changing string silencers affect my flight that much? To fix it should I just use a heavier point or ?? I will say the bow is way quiter with the new silerncers.

Silencers can make a difference in bareshafting.  If you move your current fur up the string farther toward the limb tips, it will also change it for you. I fine tune my bareshafts by moving my wool puffs up and down the string.

l8hunt is right on the money,you may have added extra weight to the string also slowed it down and now your arrows are shooting stiff. Placement and weight of silencers are important.
