You want the silencers to each cover 7" of the string??  That's a heck of a lot of weight to add to the string w/o much added benefit.

Is this for a recurve to quiet down the string slap?  yarn works well for that.

You'll probably need 9-10" strips of fur to get that length.  I have some I can cut to that length, but wow!

How about bowhush? I use it on a short recurve and love it.

Nothing makes a hunter happier than a good set of Beaver Balls.

I recently put a couple bowhush and hush puppies on my recurve and WOW what a difference that made.  Best couple of bucks I have spent in a while.  Bow is super quiet now !
