Nothing beats Real fur Beaver or muskrat fur cut in strips wound around bowstring works well for me ''

Trad Bowhunter Mag did a study and found that string leaches work best, but cost some performance. Use a heavy arrow plus the string leaches and I bet you will be good. Play with your brace height a bit too.

Limbsavers will solve the problem.

i made some wool puff balls and it sounded the same as the mink strips and wool strips, i then added some small home made rubber tabs in the string and a world of difference,
i guess having shot only a shrew for the last year is spoiling me, i guess this bow just needs some rubber in the string to satisfy my picky needs

Have someone else shoot the bow while you stand beside them and see how loud it is. I always think my bows are noisey untill I hear them from a non shooting position.

Make sure your brace height is right. It sounds like it might be a tad high.

i have had some one else shoot it but they dont draw as far as me, could hardly hear it. and still i like the bow to be quiet and shock free for me the shooter  the brace height is set at 7 i have gone from 6 3/4 to 7 1/2 many times and 7 is the smoothest.
thanks every one ill keep playing with it

Terry, thats what I have done. With the skinny strings. I used 8-9 strands of the Hush puppys. Works Great.

My bow it extremly quite. But I think its the culmination of a good bow, a skinny string, a heavy arrow, brace height and a few strands of Hush puppies. I love my set up.
