I would cut it 3/8 x 6" it will do just fine.

Thats a big Ground hog you got in your avatar there Mike. Hope everything is good in Paonia. Made some string silencers from some mink stoles I found at a yard sale once. They worked ok but didn't last too long but the price was right.

Has anyone used fox fur? I got a fox skin off a road kill that I stretched out and was thinking of cutting it up for silencers. It is sorta mangled anyway, considering the cause of death.

Minks,beavers, and foxes, what a thread.

Why not tune your bow for silence instead of slowing the string down??????????
