Thin rubber material (car tire tube) as padding for where the limbs attach to the riser...couldn't believe the difference it made.
Bowfishing is a teamsport!

One shooting, the others saying: "Over the top"!

Thanks BR. If 1" is good 3" must be better...not. Simple fix for simple problems. Sharing info helps others. I use 1" spider leggs & feather rest. Fast & dead quiet.

I have a 54" Treadway Black forest that had a slight twang at the shot, and started moving the catwiskers up and down the string.  I moved them closer to the limb tips approx 8" or so and that did the trick!  The further I moved them from the tips the louder it got.
