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.

Grizz, I've done tried everything over the last 10+ yrs. To me they are like a woman that is really good in bed but snoores like a train.. Whats a man to do???

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.

Boone the Hunter

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