Quiet Fast Flight String Material?

[blaster]

Hi All,

My brother has a new Centaur that he thinks the string is too loud on. I believe it is Dyna Flight 97 and is the stock supplied string. Assuming brace is correct, is there another string material he can use to quiet the bow down?

Thanks!

My guess is his tuneing is off.A bow like that should be quiet with any material.jmo

I like D97,it seems quieter then the old type FF.I have been playing with some padded loop 450+ that seems even quieter.I make a 6 strand 450+ with 8 extra strands of dacron(4 per bundle) in the loop ends for my bows under 60#.I feel that padding the loop end even with my D97 making the loop ends a larger diameter fills the string grooves better.I feel it helps to quieten the string.D97 and 450+ are the only ones of the newer low stretch string materials I've had experience with.I find too that shooting light arrows can make some bows alittle tough to quieten down.

My bows seem to like 8125, I get a little more speed, but a lot less hand schock and less noise.

I use TS-1 on my Kempf bows and Bill Stewart, real happy with the performance and the added quietness even though my bows were not loud to begin with.

TS-1 on my Thunderstick Mag.

Jim was using 8125 with 12 strands snd padded loops.Not sure if he still is?Raise the brace hieght some more and try again.Try a few different types of silencers.Idid not have any problem with noise on mine.I had three 62 inchers and had them all at about 7 and 3/4er inch brace hieght.The 60 incher I had at 7.5

It would not hurt to try 450 plus or TS-1 plus.I often find a certain type of string works better than others on various bows.

My 58" 60lb Centaur love's 7 1/8 D97 8 strands with padded loops tapered, with 10 strands of yarn as silencers, dead quite.

Each bow and shooter must tune the bow for them, no two are the same, just have to work on it tell it's tuned.

452x by b.c.y. 8 to 10 strands on my Kemph kwyk Styk and on my Stealth very Quiet and Fast,, almost forgot I use Beaver Fur as silencers

I shoot a 58" centaur at 52# at my draw of 26".  I have tried D97, 8125 and 450+ on this bow.  My favorite is the D97, which is what Jim is using now.  I make the string 6 strand, pad the loops to 12 strands and have found that to be the best match.  The 450+ I made 6 strand was not a quick, lost about 5 fps.  The 8125 I did not like the feel at all and it was nosier on my set up.  I shoot a carbon shaft that weighs 480 grains.  I use the Quivet for silencer but have taken the quivet and broken it down to the strands that are in one bundle that you but.  I only use 15 strands for each silencer, this get me at least 5 pairs of silencers out of every pair of Quivet I purchase.  Now that is economical.

I really like D97 and TS-1+ I make my strings with 9 strands of D97 and 12 strands of TS-1+ (padded loops). Both of these materials work great. I use Wool or Rubber as silencers..... Then tune the brach height.

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I'll pass it along to my brother.

His bow is one of the new carbon ones and is 65#@26". He is also shooting a 705 grain arrow for elk. I would think with that heavy of an arrow about anything would be quiet!

A lot of things can make a difference in noise--string material is just one of them, and often makes little difference.  

How the string is made, padded loops or not, number of strands, nock fit, whether the arrow is matched or not, release, silencer type and placement, etc. etc. etc.

Proper tuning can go a long way also.  When you change strings, you have to re-tune.  Just setting everything back like it was with the old string might work, might not.
