Mack Marine,

How do you use it as a limb silencer?

Ming,

Not sure what Mack Marine does, but it works really well in recurve string grooves to silence the string slap at tne end of the shot.
Don't meddle in the affairs of dragons; people are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Lasts quite a while and it's really cheap to replace when you need to.

Yes it does. But I found out that it also is a magnet of everything from pine needles to anything else you don't want sticking to it in the woods. Velcro's inspiration came from "hitch hikers" some engineer found on his sweater.

Not the best for limb silencers on a hunting bow IMO because of the way stuff sticks in it. I found it to be inferior in this regard to calf hair.

Joshua, going back to calf hair limb silencers.
Learn, practice and pass on "leave no trace" ethics, no matter where you hunt.
