Just wondering what people are using now days as a good string silencer if any. Ive tried the monkey tails (no luck. They didnt last long). Seen alot of videos with people not uaing any at all now. Thanks Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
I just started using the wishbone silencers and they seem to hold up pretty well. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I use the same thing as bowhunter628 and love them the work well and are very custom-able a lot of different options
I'll throw another vote in for Pine Ridge Archery Wishbones. I've been using them for a few years and have yet to have one break on me.
Went from monkey tails too wishbone much better Sent from my H1611 using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Damn... well wishbones it is.. ill have to order some and try em out. I know im not impressed with the monkey tails. Use to use the limbsaver string leeches. Thanks for the replies!! Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
I have been using the Wishbones and have been very happy. I like that you don't have to split the string to install like with leeches. They can be a bit of a pain to install but they hold up great. I coupled them with Pine Ridge Nitro Button XL's on my last set of Bow String Depot Strings and my shot great and was deadly quiet.
A good string stop does all I need it to. The stock ones on most bows leave a lot to be desired. I personally like the Bowrattler stops and put them on all of my bows. They significantly deaden the sound and any string vibe. Plus they don't sap speed out of the bow
Never heard of bowrattler before. Have to check it out now. Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
I definitely second the string stop. While it seems like all the newer bows come with them, my used bow (2010) did not. I bought a limbsaver, just because of the setup of my bow and it has taken out almost all of the noise
I've tried a bunch of silencers over the years but always go back to the cat whiskers. I may give the wishbones a try, I've gave them a glance every time I go to my bow shop, but never grab them.
I recently put some wishbones on but honestly the best are probably cat whiskers. ugly though in my opinion.
My bow came with limb saver elephant ears from the factory. The main gripe I have with silencers that split the string is that if they break the peep will rotate and that's exactly what happened. Good thing it was in the back yard and not on a hunt in the middle of nowhere. I'm using cat whiskers currently. Sent from my VS500 using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
