This instructable will show you how to make string silencers out of synthetic wool yarn! It is an effective and inexpensive addition to any archery rig.I own a Samick Sage 3-piece takedown bow, and I love it! However, because it is a takedown bow (meaning it comes apart into several pieces) it has some extra buzzing when I shoot it from full draw, and I wanted to make it stealthy quiet.
The Bow Hush silencing system is a great, more economical alternative to the raw wool mufflers and silencers. And they can be added to any string where the wool mufflers/silencers can only be added during the string build. A proven bow silencer system made from the best in New Zealand wool yarn.

Also, this could be used to silence any type of traditional bow, not just a recurve!This is my first instrucable, so I'll take any kind of feedback!Lets get started. Now, grab your bow. While it's still strung, mark where you want to put your string silencers on the string itself.There are various methods to string silencer placement, but I decided to measure the length of my bow and then mark about 1/4 of the way from each end of the string.Some people prefer 1/3, others 1/3 and 1/4.
Its up to your personal preference, style of shooting, and type of bow. Feel free to adjust these!No matter the spacing, you should have two marks on your bowstring now, one on either end of your bowstring. Cheers brother! That was a fun little excersise - I have a Martin Jaguar TD recurve thats mostly black - so raiding the wife's knitting bag for black yarn as well as some mottled blue looked really cool together on the bowstring! Another cheap n easy tip for hushing these things up a bit is to get some of that stick on velcro tape- use the softer, fuzzy 'female' part and tape it to the ends of your bow's limbs so when you send an arrow away the string doesn't slap the the limb as hard - it's supposed to increase the life of the limb as well as quietening your shot. Bit of stick on felt to the shelf (if you aren't using a rest) will kill any noise of tapping the arrow against it when moving with a knocked arrow too - again, thank you!
