It's hard to believe this thread is still going strong!  I'm glad some folks have found this useful.  I have had great results with bow hush and hush puppies as well, but some folks just like to do it themselves.

I don't remember if it was you Apex or someone else on this Site but I have been doing this to any and All of my Bows since I started shooting Recurves and Longbows about 2 years ago and it works Great,Thanks,

Kurt

For those who don't want to make their own I would recommend visiting Centaur's site. Jim sells a string silencer called the "Navajo". These are sheep wool silencers that have a lot of the natural linolen still in the wool. They work great!

Great information and presentation. Thank you.
I'll give it a try I think.

Good stuff

apex that was great "how to" pictures for a hillbilly like me. i was thinking about ordering some of the other wool silencers but i assume the woolyarn will work just as well, and be a lot cheaper. looks like that roll would do lots of bows or one as many times as needed in a season if they got burrs or worn down. thanks

i really like the idea about the contact area of the string.  I don't have a recurve right now, but have in the past, I used to put felt under the string where it contacted the limb.

I had to copy this to a word document for myself, this is good info that I'm definitly going to try.

Apex Predator; I'll email you a copy so you can approve me using your info.

Marty, I went down today and got me a roll of that Wool-Ease ya got there and made a set of silencers, following your directions, for my Zipper. Man, let me tell you, they sure quieted it down more than the rubber silencers that was on the string!

I won't be buying string silencers anymore!  

cool thanks for sharing...

I know what I'll be doing this rainy weekend...thanks AP  

Very cool. Never done that kinda serving near the contact area for sure gonna do it soon.

Thanks for the pics

Good Job, thanks for posting the info!!!

Since I dropped 126 grains in arrow weight by switching from a 2117 to a 2212 aluminum arrow out of my 42# bow, the 2212 was very loud upon arrow release. By making my own wool puffs using AP's method, the bow is whisper quiet now.

I looked this up a long while back, been doing it since. Work's great and very cheap! Hard telling how many a fella could get out of a bundle of yarn.  Thank's AP, you've saved me alot of money! Jason

Awesome job,thanks.I would guess this would work on both longbows and recurves.Thanks for sharing.

Thank you!!  I'll deff. be doing this on my Black Widow.  That bow seems to be my toughest bow to quiet down....

This is one of my favorite how-to threads. I'm glad to see it brought back up.

I missed this one the first time around and am very glad it was brought back up. Gonna try it out this weekend! Thanks Apex!

Been away for awhile, Family Issues(UGH), so this is My First Read!!  :rolleyes:   Awsome How-To!!     Thank You for taking the Initiative to Add it to the  Tutorials  on the  "Finest Site"  for Tute's on the Web!!         I may be just a Tad Biased too.....
