Clicker on a hunting bow?

Just put a clicker on my longbow and am really impressed with the improvement of my shooting. Wondering how it will work for hunting.........is there a way to quiet it a little or does game even notice it? Any info would be appreciated.

You can quiet it down, I wrapped electrical tape around mine and it is really quiet. I killed 4 deer and a hog with mine last year. I have used a clicker for 3 years and never had a deer hear it.

the tape works. I used to hunt with one, and still shoot it a bit from time to time to keep my form in check. killed a dandy bull with one on as well...

I just put one on mine and put mole skin on pretty much all the metal moving parts.
It seems pretty quiet

Just went thru the quieting exercise. I used sticky back soft Velcro on both sides. It was too quite. I could neither feel nor hear it. So I took the Velcro off one side and now its quiet but it can still be heard and felt.

I heard it's the last thing the deer hear!

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!

At one time I used electrical tape. Worked great in Louisiana, but when I went to KS and it got cold I couldn't hear or feel the click. These days I use moleskin.
