Dampening Noise In A Grizzly

[Valkyrie]

Still working the new bow and the string seems to still be stretching out.  I adjusted the brace height up to 8 1/4" from 7 3/4" and it did make some difference but I am getting some limb slap and a little string vibe.  I installed some beaver balls and am contemplating limb savers or maybe moleskin on the limb/string contact areas.

Compared to the Montana LB it is pretty loud so...

I don't have arrow and shelf contact issues as they seem to be flying very well as long as my release is clean, lol.  The whole sensitivity to technique thing is a little frustrating sometimes though.

Any ideas?

Try bow hush or wool yarn wraped around the top and bottom string.  There a thread on hear showing you how.

My Grizzly Bows are Quiet. I use yarn on the strings and arrows that are 10 ggp. that's it.

I have a mid 70's Grizzly and its very quiet.  I put some velcro on the upper limb to help with a little string slap, and Cat Wiskers - 2 sets.

Its actually the quietest bow I have.

Keep increasing the brace height until it is quiet. Don't be surprised if you get all the way up past 8.5" - to even 9" - some Grizz bows need a brace height like that to be at their best (I had one like that). They are each a little different. Once you have it quiet it will be an easy bow to love shooting.

Actually just posted on here a couple weeks ago with the same issue on my super grizzly. Ended up taking the brace height all the way up to 8 1/2 in and running beaver balls and bow hush yarn on the string.   Made a world of difference.

Are you shooting 3-under???

This is one thing folks seem to forget... Tiller.

Simple fix though... Usualy raising your nock point about 1/8th inch, will quiet it right down.

My 70's Grizzly with b-50 is quiet at 8 1/2"
As smokin joe said, dont be afraid to go higher if you draw 28 plus inches.
