I Have muskrat fur on Horne's Hybrid longbow (really quiet with them) . I have nothing on my Miller longbow (quiet without any) New Two Tracks Longwalker on order, will have to see if bow needs to have silencers installed.

I also make them out a small piece of wool yarn but do not cut the loops...they look like little yarn spiders and work nicely.  

I also agree with Eric..dacron is not a good option for me...just too hard to get along with.

I have some beaver fur strips on my Halfbreed. I added some simply to see if they would make an already quiet bow even quieter. They did, so I still have them on.

My Cheetah has a set of wool puffs on it's b50 string that someone else added. I'll probably take them off, though. They are a natural color and are very visible.

Mine has no hand shock so the wool puffs did not increase it!

I have since lowered my brace height and taken off my silencers and have found that my bow is just as quiet.

70 % say yes, always.
20% say no , never.
6% say yes, but only for hunting.

Thanks guys for the comments and the voting, sorry the results aren't visible to those that didn't vote and such, the settings on the polls couldn't get reversed once I posted it.

It's more than I thought would use them.
