quiet down a plunger
« on: April 01, 2011, 10:42:00 AM »
I use a shorty plunger on my ilf rig and everytime the arrow slides by it squeeks. Does this with carbon arrows and aluminum. What can I plut on the tip to reduce the noise.

Cut a small piece of fleece or felt and super glue it to the tip of the plunger. That should keep her silent!

Yep.  That will work.  Or a small piece of Dr. Scholls or similar moleskin product, which comes with an adhesive back.  Just cut a piece to fit and stick it on.

A tiny piece of duck tape. It works great and won't affect your tuning.

Here's the only decent pic I have of how  I do mine. It's just a piece of Dr. Scholl's moleskin over the rest and button. I used a dark marker to darken it up some....it's really not necessary to darken it.

I took mine off the bow,and ruffed it up
with bit of light grit sandpaper on the
contact surface,and made a slight bevel
around the edge.

Peter,

I was thinking of maybe the UHMW slick tape for kitchen drawers may help.  I can leave some at CB Archery tomorrow morning for you to try out.  The tape is self glued on one side.  You can cut it to fit your pluger.
