Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
I've had a cat whisker on both strings I've been using and they don't seem to show any signs of wear and, of course, they quiet my old recurve down really nice.
The best all around.
Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
I had used musk ox hair silencers on my Tomahawk longbow and had really loved them (great traditional look/feel and very good at dampening vibration) but they had one major problem ... out in the woods they picked up burrs like crazy!
Though they aren't quite as "traditional" in their materials or look, these rubber Cat Whiskers don't have that problem at all and work just as well at deadening vibration. In the end, if you are actually hunting with your bow, you just gotta go with what works.
Also, you can't ignore that these Cat Whiskers are cheaper and don't require the user to split his string to install - making them very easy all around.
Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
Easy installation, very quiet. Works great on my Bear 58# recurve.
Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
While I could not puff them out quite like the video, I do want to compliment you on the video presentation itself.
Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
these absorb string vibration very well
Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
These cat whiskers are awesome! They install very easy. They are light, compact, water resistant, and best of all they don't get burrs in them like other bow string silencers. Don't waste your money on any other silencer.
Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
Maybe it's my fumbling fingers but if you don't get the knot right the first time, then it gets harder every time you try to knot it because the strands come apart. It stops string vibration dead though.
Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
Make them just a little bit longer for ease of installation. Fat fingered guys like me need all the help we can get.

100% satisfation guaranteed!!! ;)
Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
I seem to find myself in questionable weather too often and it is nice not having a big wet sock hanging from your string.
Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
I've used these on all my strings, and they last forever. They work well, won't wear out over time, and are dirt cheap. Not as pretty as some of the wool ones, but can't beat the performance for the price
Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
I've used the cat whiskers and have always been a fan of them, but these thicker whiskers definately quiet the bow even more.

Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
This product is much more durable than others. Probably the best string silencer this side of a string capture device.
One note of interest - I placed the product on the string using serving thread rather than the recommended method. Either way, it does not require pressing the bow.

These are thinner than others, making them puff out better and look better on the string.

Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
These things are great and easy to install. Not as pretty as beaver balls but I think they are better at quieting your bow.

Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
Cat Whiskers are simple, inexpensive, and effective. I use them on all my bows and always keep a couple spares for new strings. I've had bow strings wear out before these do.
Great service, as always. Prompt and accurate!

Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
THEY ARE THE EASIEST OF THE STRING SILENCERS TO INSTALL. THEY DO A GREAT JOB IN CANCELING STRING NOISE. I WILL BE INSTALLING THEM ON ANY BOW I GET IN THE FUTURE.

Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
Have used this product for years on a lot of my recurves. Have no reason to change.

Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
Only reason for the 4 star is I had a bit of trouble getting them in a knot because I've got big hands, if they were just a bit longer I would have given them a 5 but they do work great for quieting the bow string, just get someone with smaller hands to help.

Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
I want to rave like everybody else, these little whiskers really silence the string and make for a quiet shot. I just wish my cat "Sunshine" was as quiet. Thanks 3Rivers.
Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
Love this product.
Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
Fur works well for most bows, but these are more effective in quieting a "noisy" bow. Heavy reflex/deflex and some recurves with Fast Flight string are examples.
Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
If this doesn't work at least looks cool:)))
Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
It works well but mine doesn't look like the picture. I think it must take some dexterity and practice to get them on right. Mine don't look like their picture. Mine just kind of hang and look sloppy. However as I say it works well.
not as pretty as theirs

Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
Cat whiskers are always a great choice; in my case I added a set to a higher performance bow just to make it a tad quieter for hunting. These work great to quite a really strong fast string.
Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
Used on 1978 Browning with good results. They dampen well and last a long time.
Comments about Cat Whiskers Bow String Silencers:
Great product! I have always trusted and went back to Cat whiskers!
