Quiver silencing a bow?

[DanielB89]

I recently had a Thunderhorn strap on quiver on my bow. I am almost positive that it dampened some noise and I took it off and now it is louder.  


Anyone ever experienced anything like this?  

I had to take it off bc the widow and I am shooting works better with a bolt on.  


would me trying out some limb savers do the same thing?  I would like to get the bow back as quiet as it was, but can't put the quiver back on as I sold it.

I know several guys who use the large stick-on limb savers on their widows. One inparticular has probably killed more animals with a trad bow than just about anybody out there! If I remember correctly, he has them mounted about where the fadeout ends.

Yep, Thunderhorn quivers have always helped quiet things down for me.

I put Stiktamer Bow Silencers on my PSRX and couldn't believe how much they helped. Three Rivers sell them.

i am almost positive that is what was going on.  I am just trying to figure out how to get my bow back to that quiet without the quiver on. lol.  


I am hoping a set of limbsavers can do that for me, but i'm not sure if they will.

I've noticed it with my Great Northers, limbolt, riser mounted, and strap on. I've also noticed it with my Thunderhorn and my Selway.

All limb-strap quivers seem to do that; they also seem to affect the arrow spine as well, at least for me (weaker arrow than without the quiver on).

Yep strap on quivers always quiet my bows down

An additional reason why I like my strap on style quivers. I usually place them as far possible without getting into the working part of the limb.

Here's an idea from Kegan McCabe's (Omega Longbows) site:

Working Man's Limb-Stabilizers

These limb-stabilizers work to dampen vibration in the limb (removing hand shock and noise). They're also very cheap and easy to add or remove.

Any good sized bike inner tube, cut into fourths with the nozzel removed, can be wrapped around the limbs about four inches from the end of the riser. You do not need to glue or tape them directly to the limbs, but rather just wrap or tape the ends to itself. No marring the finish, no permanent affixment. You can also add another set (the rest of the inner tube) right at the end of the riser for even more mass, making your longbow sit quietly in hand like a heavier balanced recurve!

Put in on my two tracks ambush recurve and it's like a whisper now. Helps for sure!

Ryan, i like them as well, but my widow has such a long riser that It looked less than desirable.  There was no way to get the quiver to stay off the working limb.  The head and arrow holder had to be over 20"(23") apart to even fit on the bow.  

It definitely silenced the bow some, which is why i'm trying to find a way to help out the cause..

can you show me a picture of this?  I am trying to picture it, but want to make sure I have it right...

[Ryan Sanpei]

Sorry, I didn't read your entire post!          

Yes, I've used the full sized limb savers at the end of my fade outs and they worked well for my recurves.

Everyone told me they weren't trad though...

Stiktamers work great at dampening and work well with a bow hanger.

We get lots of reports of our EFA wrap attachment bow quiver quieting a bow. Several of those were Black Widows. We are also told that they sometimes improve the shot groups.

A good quiver mounted properly on the bow can both stabilize the bow for better shots and lesson bow noise. We recommend putting our Talon Grip attachment quiver right on the fade outs for best results.

One more time STIKTAMERS

[Diamond Paul]

Yep, EFA, best quiver I have ever used.  Does not unbalance the bow, stays tight.  Great quivers.

[KyRidgeRunner]

I noticed a difference in my tall tines this week when I put on a selway quiver.  It attached on the bolts though.

[Dave Lay]

my strap on great northern quiver makes a noticeable difference in noise with my widow psa.. its thump quiet !
