Never stop trying! Got it quiet and accurate...(group pics)

[saumensch]

Hi,

some might remember i had extreme difficulties getting my Bob Lee Signature Longbow quiet. I went through many brace heights, silencers, strings even arrows and nothing worked. I was already in the mood to say "Well, lets call it good, seems like i am not a longbow shooter and this one wont get quiet.."
Luckily JJ from Bob Lee Archery (who, along with many other being wiser than me, helped a lot)said i should try more different strings.

After a few more trys i finally am one happy guy!

An socalled Xcel string 16 strand with beaver puffs has made the bow perfectly quiet.
During testing the sound i didnt take notice of my groups, boy was i surprised when i saw my first one. Shot another one and another one and each looked like this (this is actually the secoond one, 18 steps):

   

     


So abig thank you to all who helped with advice and kind words during the process.
 Never ever give up!
 


So thanks to all who helped

I am also fighting to get a new bow in tune, and this is really encouraging to see these results.
Thanks for the post.

The devil is always in the details. Good job! It is really good to see groups like that.

My granny used to say " The devil is a squirrel and hides in small holes!"

Nice group. I'd say you're ready for opening day.

I would have to say you got her figured out.

Looks real good.... You might want to try a SBD 6 or 8 strand string. I think you will see another level to what you have already have found... This stuff gets to be fun if you let it.
