I've never liked the idea of rubber silencers. Ive always used fur and loved it.
Then I bought my now most favorite ever longbow from Dan Toelke. He makes the strings and puts in rubber silencers. When I realized that, I figured Id just replace them with my fur. However, after I shot it a bit I decided to give them a chance. After several months now, I actually love them. Dan changed my mind about them, and im certainly glad I held an open mind. Im going to have to learn to install them myself now...lol!
