What material is your favorite string silencer?

[TxAg]

Wool? Cat Whiskers? Bowjax? Muskrat? Etc.?

Please feel free to elaborate on the what, why, and how...

[J.T.]

100% wool yarn

Every bowyer I have spoken to over the years on this subject say the same thing "CATWHISKERS". That is what they recommend. I will admit it is what I use the most. I have a little trouble serving them tight on skinny strings. Sometimes I will put them in between the strands of the string.  Lately I have been using Bow Hush with GREAT  results. Do not know how the wet weather will effect them. I put them on my MOAB and WOW!

I like beaver or Twotracks wool silencers.

I like the looks of the beaver on most bows and it does a good job when you get it spun up tight and in the right spot.

The Twotracks silencers are about as easy to install and effective as you can get.

I'm with J.T., 100% wool yarn, but I do use catwiskers on occasion.

Wool scallops from Chuck at Two Tracks.  Too easy to install, each pair will outlast several strings....and work exceptionally well.

I've always used Heavy Duty Catwhiskers. Simple, easy to install and effective.

I use cat whiskers,woolie puffs and my homemade alpaca wool yarn puffs.Used some beaver balls or mink on a couple of selbows,just looks like they go with selfbows.

I love the look of fur and it does a great job. I has a big beaver hide tanned years ago so I've probably got a lifetime supply to cut strips from.

[Rollie]

The Musk ox ones are beautiful, and seem to work great! They are expensive though, so the cat whisker rubber ones go on all my other bows.

[Easykeeper]

I think cat whiskers probably work the best but I also think they are ugly.  Wool works well and looks better.

Lately I've been using otter fur strips from 3Rivers, they look nice on my bow and even though they might not work as well as rubber cat whiskers work well enough for me.

[RecurveRookie]

Homemade wool yarn puff balls, make them any size u want.

[Bowwild]

Whiskers.

I too am a fan of cat whiskers tied on outside of string.

Two tracks are outstanding as well.. Very easy to install and very effective...

[Shedrock]

Homemade wool yarn. Can't beat the price, and they look and work great.

[JB74nola]

I like fur, when wound tightly around string they work pretty well.

[Sirius Black]

Beaver Balls.
