Paracord sheath string silencer reminder

For those search challenged folks. I thought I'd post up about the paracord sheath string silencers. Simply cut the PC to 1 1/2 - 2" lengths, pull out the white cord guts. I use 4 top and 4 bottom. Put them in the string like any other string silencer material. Use whatever distance you like, I prefer 18.3% from nocks on longbow and from string touch on recurve. Shoot @200 times to get a nice puff ball. At 2" they are @12 grains and cost @$0.11 a set. Best string silencer I've tried and I have spent some coin on all kinds of silencers. Just FYI.

I tried them on an inexpensive dacron string and they tore the string up. There were all kinds of popped strands where the paracord sat. Using good old cat whiskers now.

I like four 2" pieces of sheath material top and bottom. I've personally found 18.3% to be the best spacing for me. I have 60" bows, but have a 62" longbow, as well. Vibration is drastically reduced and arrow/string speed is dramatically increased, as well. For @11 cents a pair this seems pretty good to me.
