Skinny strings & Cat whiskers?

Any one have any suggestions how to keep cat whiskers from migrating/bunching up to one side of the string? Had my bow perfect! Shooting today, the cat whiskers all bunch and then started falling out! Now I have to start over! Errrrrrr! I tie them on with a super tight constrictor knot currently!

I don't use a full whisker. I split the strip in half and then just tie a knot and pull it as tight as I can. I've never had a problem doing it this way yet. Once I have pulled the knot tight, I simply trim the lengths to match. This also allows you to slide the whisker up or down without ever having it come loose. It will take some tugging though. Shooting the bow will split the individual strings. Jon

Same here. Cut in half and don't split the string. I tie as tight as I can without cutting myself on the serving string and sometimes add a little shot of super glue.

Slick way to do them. I think I have found the way I will do them from now on.
