I was tuning up a Quinn recurve tonight, had several endless loop strings from the maker, D-97 and I thought I should use one of them, no sense letting them dry rot. I have been twisting them up myself and have had very quiet, great performing strings on my bow and 4 other buddies. Well the endless loop shoots fine, but is 5x louder! I mean like a banjo string with wool puffs in it. I then took one of my flemish string off another bow, same length, and shot the bow, quiet as a mouse. Both strings are shot in, barely, and the same silencer set up, pads on the limb tips, limb savers. Just wondering if any of you guys had noticed this also.
