String Silencers.

Just wondering what kind of string silencers You guys use and recommend. Thanks!

 

Depends on what you like. Most all of them work. I was always partial to the old school cat whiskers. My cousin likes string leeches. But on my new bow it would just be a waste of money to use them since most of todays bows are so quiet that they dont need them.

 

Cat Whiskers is what Ive always used. I always tied them and trimmed them down and made a nice little ball lol.

 

Yeah thats what most people still use. What do you shoot?

 

I have a Reezen 6.5 and my old school Martin Mag-Cat. I love that old Martin, but im looking at a Ovation right now. Just cant seem to find any ifo on them.

 

Well i dont know but i would say that those probably need some sort of string silencer. Cat whiskers are cheeper and some people say they work better. The string leeches are around 12 for 4 of them. I have never tried the string leeches, but if i had to choose i would go with the whiskers just because you can have 5 or 6 sets put on for the price of one set of string leeches, and the fact that they have proven themselfs for years before...
Just my 2 cents

 

Anyone have pictures of these Cat Whiskers you speak of????

 

They are just the old Rubber strings that look like puff balls.
and here is the link to mathew for the Ovations.

I would try cat whiskers and string leaches to see what works best on your bow

 

monkey tails cause thats what came on my z7

 

Thanks guys. Im using the ol' cat whiskers again lol

 

BowJax UltraJax for me. Also, their RizrJax are an item I will put on every bow I own.
