Quieting a PSRX...Any suggestions?

[Flatshooter]

Just acquired a very nice PSRX. Shoots great but it's noisy. I removed the spider silencers and installed a set of woolie whiskers on standard BW D97 14 strand  string and still get a noticeable thwang,. Bow is 60" 51#@ 28"! I draw to 28". Shooting a CX 150 cut to 29.5" Brace is 7.5". Any suggestions?

UPDATE!

Sbd bow string 8 strand with recurve wraps and 4 rubber cat whiskers.
Brace 8.5

Raise brace a bit at a time and move the puffs around a bit. The one I had was almost silent with the same set up.

Another vote for upping the brace...  When my longbow gets noisy, it's the brace.

I put an sbd on my PLV with small wool silencers and it's quiet as a mouse!

I've got bowhush, stik tamers, hush puks and beaver hair on my string.... works!

Along with everything else,  Try a .400 deflection carbon.  You may be a little weak on spine.  If not add point weight to the .400.

You could also try a different string. D97 is a good string, but there are quieter ones out there, like BCY-X, and D-10(SBD). I'm certainly no expert on everything, but I've tried many different strings on as many bows, and have come to really like BCY-X, regardless of bow type.

I have a widow with almost identical specs. The above advice on the 400 spine is spot on. At least for me. I'm shooting FMJ arrows a100 grain insert/175 grain point and my brace is around 8".   Shooting a black widow factory string. The bow is a great shooter and is as quiet as my other recurves. A little tinkering and she should come around.

If by chance its a take down, put sting wax on the male section,
That should fix the problem.
I just got in from shooting mine, quite as a longbow and just and awesome bow to shoot. One of if not my favorite bow.

One word (STIKTAMERS) they work I had them on a PSRX

[Tater]

As others have recommended get rid of the D97 and get a lower strand string, every thing else sounds pretty close.

   I had a 56"PSRX 52#@28 shooting GT 400's 29" with 200gr points, you might be a tad under spined.

  Everyone is different release can also effect spine and noise, mine was dead quiet with the puffs and a low strand string.

Thanks a lot guys! I'll probably change out string and play with brace height after waxing the male section of the t/d. I'm also going to give some thought to the 400's as suggested.

Mountain Muffler strings...

Ok, first of all thanks to all who responded to my request for help! Here is the update: I made up a FF Plus 14 strand string and put on a new set of woolies. I waxed the connection and raised the brace height to 8" then shot a few 2018 Legacy XX75's cut to 29.5" with 200 grs up front.... WOW! what a difference. She has quieted down considerably!! Not "church mouse fart quiet" yet but I'm on my way. Big thanks to all for your help!
