BW sickness!!!
« on: December 28, 2009, 10:07:00 PM »
Is it possible that BW puts MSG's in the finish of their bows?? I've done bought and sold 4 PSA widers over the last 10 yrs.. Cause I can't get them quiet enough for my liking. But man do they ever shoot sweet for me!!!
No sooner had I placed the wider in the mail box and I already started missing her.... Gettin thoughts of ordering another already and it aint been 4 days...  :(

They're nice shooting bows.  I don't currently own a Widow but wouldn't mind getting my hands on a PTFX, tulip or bacote.

Never had a problem getting them quiet enough, at least none of the deer I shoot ever complain. If you get another one try to wooly whisper silencers that Widow sells, work great.  They do shoot great.

Skinny string will work wonders.  I notice a HUGE difference.  I use a 6 strand 450+ on my PSA 3.  Love it.

MRD,
How does that string compare to the D97 in speed, noise, tuning, etc.?

Thanks

Brother, I been working on them and got feed up 4 times cause they are loud. Even had a friend shot it while I was listening from the sides , behind and even down range.. they are just plain loud. I know BW says that they aren't any louder then other bows?? That its just the pitch of the sound??? But I think pitch has alot to do with weather the deer jumps the string... Are you going to jump more at a big bass drum or a car alarm if they were set at the same volume???
I'm havin a love hate relationship here... Think I need a mistress???

Mine made a big difference in noise as I put some deer skin material where the string contact the limbs and after I worked on the brace high.Remember Widows need a stiffer arrow but too stiff makes the bow noiser.

Mine was loud with the original spider silencers. I took velcro and put it on the string grooves and then wrapped the string with wool yarn where they make contact with the string grooves. I then made some silencers out of wool yarn and you have to tinker with the brace height and silencer placement in the string. I also added limb savers.

The most important thing I did that did that killed all the noise was I put bow string wax between the limbs and the riser and on the alighnment pins. Dead quite now, killed 4 deer with it this year.

Try Crown serveing .26 dia,serve the string about 6''.Place  catwiskers about 12'' down from the string loops.
I shoot a Habu Vyperkahn 65lbs(widow copy lol)and have this bow very quiet w/ this formula.

I third the pl statement, I loooooove mine and it's very quiet, have never had any problems, besides my freezer getting too full.
