Twanger - I know another guy who shot instinctive with a glove when he shot compound. INCREDIBLE traditional shot. Obviously you shoot pretty good yourself! lol
FYI, Nate's strings are 18 strand I think. I switched to a 14 strand B50 Dacron and my bows shoot a lot better. Naturally quieter and zero string vibration.
I had a little with the 18 strand strings and I had to use whiskers. Whiskerless, the 14 strand was quieter. I haven't tried FF and like you I have horn on my limbs. I went phenolic on my Royal.
Also, what is your Brace Height set at? My Hunter's loved to be between 6.5" and 6.75"
