Terry,

I mailed an order for two hush puppies and one bow hush earlier this week. I noticed the ship time on the order form. Is this an average or worse case time line?

I've used pure wool on an off ever since I got into bowhunting.

In NZ it was more or less the standard string silencer until compounds came along.
Winning or losing is not the important thing,,the important thing is how well you played the game.

I have a question. I am considering bow hush for my recurve, but would like to know if you take it back off to wax your strings. I was always told to wax it at least every month, including loops and have always adhered to this and have never had a string failure in over 25 years. Can anyone tell me what their experience has been?  :archer:

Wax the string heavy at the points you'll be putting the silencers, unstring the bow, split the fibers equally at those points, put them in the opening, restring, cut off the rubber connectors from the end so each wool strand is "soft" or free from any of the rubber and are able to unravel easily. I think Terry says let them sit for a day or so but I shoot mine right away, just with a mouthful of wool fibers the first few shots. After a good bit of shooting, the fibers will unwind and completely puff out, to be trimmed as you like. On a flemish string, I've never found dental floss etc. needed to stabilize. They stay put just fine for me.

Crow, I wax mine heavy where the wool will be before I put them in. I wax my string a lot too and don't take them out, just work up to them and continue past them. Never had a string fail at the bowhush, nor any for not waxing either but I still do it anyway.
