Noisy predator - help

[ghoster808]

My Predator with the 60# limbs were a bit noisier than with the 50# ones. I went to 2117s and it did quiet it down some. I the. Used cat whiskers cut to 1 1/4". This makes little round balls and I use 4. This made the bow dead quiet. Also I did make shims cut out of gallon milk jugs but that was more for the creak problem in one of the limbs.  I set up the cat whiskers according to fellow Hawaiian Ryan Sanpei's YouTube tutorial, which in my biased opinion is the best out there.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyGuPxe1BMA&sns=em  His method allows you to tune the bow string to some degree. Oh by the way my Predator with 50# limbs is dead quiet, go figure lol

I have to check but I think my pred is at 7 3/4 brace.. I have a SPD string with SPD wool puffs and even though I shoot a heavy arrow my bow is very very quiet.

noisy Preditors back in the day when a lot more people shot them around here where always low brace,   they are very fast bows so don't be scarred to go higher on the brace when I met Ron Pittsley at Denton hill he personally raised my brace and said leave it there,,,,,,, shimming the limb sockets with milk jug material (polystyrene I think) is a very good idea.

OK, old-timey stuff here. Take the string off and wrap(serve) the last 8 inches on both ends with good wool yarn. If that doesn't cure the problem, mess with the nock point

fast bows always are noisy, and predators are fast. higher brace height,haevier arrow, flemish twist string, padded limb tips, and /or padded string loops, wool string silencers, all these will quiet it, they will also cost you speed, but i would rather have a quieter bow, even if it is slower.
