what in your guys opinion is the best string?/bow silencer. i put some whiskers on my string and they worked good. but they were cheap and fell off.
I second the string stop. They last almost forever and don't add weight to the string. If you want a really nice string stop at an affordable price, get a hold of MeanV (Dan) on here. He custom makes them to fit your bow, in almost any camo pattern and looks like it was put on at the factory. Been using one for 4 years and its still going strong.
String scilencers are a thing of the past I tend to think. #1 they slow down arrow speed #2 there ugly #3 thers more to fall off #4 they will change the angle of youre peep sight. A good string stop will not only quieten down youre string but make the bow much more forgiving. a string scilencer will NOT stop the string from bouncing back & forth after the shot causing vibration & slaping youre arm if form is slightly off... A string stop WILL do all that plus make it quieter.
My bows: Heavy arrow, string stop, monkey tails on cable and one just above the cam. Very little/no loss of speed. I hear monkey tails break ofter 10 shots. I have 2 bow with at least 5000 shots each and have only lost the tip of one. Maybe using a 584 grain arrow helps. I like them, they go on wiith out a press. I thought Simms string leeches (in the string) change your peep sight, change bow tune, break easily and you need a press. I just don't like something in the string. Cat wiskers are way to heavy and triple in weight with a little rain, so does the taratula silencers I used for years.
As far as string suppressors the Bow Rattler works pretty darn good and is 1/2 the price of most http://bowrattler.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=11&Itemid=57
