Q: How do i manage to put the small brush buttons through the string loops? The button hole seems to small for the string to pass. How do i put them on? Please help. Asked on 6/18/2012 by Atb from Madison, wi Know the answer? Answer this question 6 answers A: There will be a wire that is split that you will put between the loop of the string,then slide the button down the wire. Then you will grab the wire with a pair of pliers and pull the button down the string. Answered on 6/19/2012 by Clint from 3Rivers Archery A: Using the cotter pin provided or a bobby pin will work and placing it on the loop on the end of the string. Put some bow string wax on the string loop for lubrication and put the cotter pin through the hole in the brush button. Grab the end of the cotter pin with a pair of pliers, hold the brush button in your other hand and pull. Voila! Answered on 6/19/2012 by Anonymous A: My brush buttons came with a small cotter (codder?) Pin, you put the loop of the string in the eyelet of the pin and pull it through, the rubber stretches around the string and doesnt damage it, if you didnt get a pin you can buy one at home cheapo for pennies or maybe try some sort of heavy duty copper wire to do the same. I was hesitant at first but pulling the pin through the rubber with the string attached was easy and damage free. Hope that clarifies. Answered on 6/19/2012 by Anonymous A: I hear you, I thought the same thing at first. However, if you use the cotter pins it should work just fine. The rubber on the brush buttons is more flexible that you think. If you don't have cotter pins, you can use some monofilament. Just be sure to use a heavy test, so the string won't break on you. Answered on 6/19/2012 by Anonymous A: Atb, Brush buttons are usually supplied with a bobby pin-type device. What you do is put the bowstring loop through the bobby pin and then push the bobby pin through the brush button hole. Then remove the bobby pin. It's like using a needle threader. If you don't have a bobby pin in your package, just go to Wal-Mart and buy a pack in the Women's Cosmetics section. Or, you can male a threader with a piece of copper or bailing wire. Be careful not to damage the string when pulling it through the brush button. Good hunting, William C. Levenson Carlsbad, CA Answered on 6/19/2012 by Anonymous A: The Brush Buttons come with a Bobbie pin (cotter pin or similar). The Bobbie pin is clipped over the string loop and the brush button is pulled down the string using pliers on the Bobbie pin. Be sure you put the brush buttons on in the right direction or you'll be starting over. The direction shown in the illustration is correct however it is very unusual to see brush buttons on a long bow limb. Brush buttons were meant for a recurve limb where the string to limb angle is very acute . Answered on 6/19/2012 by Anonymous
Q: No instructions provided with product and can't find tutorial, therefore, how are the buttons installed on my Samick Sage T/D bow? Asked on 5/23/2012 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: They come with a little wire that you put throw the loops on your string. Once you do that you will want to put the wire throw the hole in the brush button, with dome part of the brush button facing up. Then you grab the wire with a pair of pliers and then pull the brush button down the string and do the same to the other end. Answered on 5/24/2012 by Clint from 3Rivers Archery
Q: Will these work for my long bow or are they only for recurve's? Asked on 8/14/2011 by Anonymous from MN Know the answer? Answer this question 6 answers A: You can put them on a longbow. They were originally intended for recurves and will not help a longbow as much. Answered on 8/19/2011 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery A: I really don't see how they would benefit a longbow user... I believe they are only used to keep brush and weeds from pinching into the area of the recurve where the bow limb rides right next to the string. With a longbow this usually isn't an issue. However, I guess it could be looked at (and used) as a nice, soft rest when your bow is hanging on a branch or something hard. Just a thought. Answered on 9/20/2011 by Indian Kev from Mount Pleasant, MI A: Yes, they work well on longbows and recurves alike I have a set on my custom recurve and my Thunderstick MOAB. They work nicely for eliminating nearly all of string slap noise. Answered on 9/28/2011 by SEMO_HUNTER from SE Missouri A: I don't see why not but, I only shoot a recurve. Answered on 12/30/2011 by Joe from Black Diamond, Washington A: I use the smaller size on a reflex-deflex longbow, and it works great. Really...I was amazed at the tangled junk I was walking through with no snags. Before I put the Brush Buttons on, the same bow was snagging-up while I was creeping through a bean field where I never suspected the problem. I like mine; will always use one on the longbow from now on. Answered on 1/25/2012 by Joe D from Fredericksburg, VA A: Depends on the angle of string to bow limb. These work best where there's a sharp angle for twigs and weeds to get stuck. The brush buttons keep stuff from getting caught in the sharp angle. Answered on 5/8/2012 by Flint311 from Allendale, MI
Q: Are these buttons made with the soft material they used years ago. I've seen newer ones made with a much harder material - too noisy! Asked on 7/14/2011 by EdB from Harrisburg, PA Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: These are made with a soft rubber. Answered on 7/22/2011 by Art from 3Rivers Archery A: I can't attest to buttons made several years ago but these are very soft, light and easy to install. They also help to reduce noise.

Q: Which size should I use on a Fast Flight Flemish String? Asked on 6/16/2011 by Rusty from Wisconsin Know the answer?

Q: Will these create any unnessary noise on my recurve?When you release the string will these hit the limb? Asked on 3/13/2011 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: The will actually help to decrease the twang from the string and the slap from the string hitting the bow. Answered on 3/15/2011 by Justin from 3 Rivers Archery A: No, they will actually reduce noise from limb slap. These are very soft rubber. I used a set on my brothers 58lb recurve along with whiskers and his bow went silent. Answered on 9/3/2012 by Marshall from AZ

Q: can you use these with the calfs hair groove silencers or would they not be needed trying to get my recurve as quiet as possible Asked on 10/11/2010 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: The Brush buttons would work with the calf hair groove silencers, but it is possible the brush buttons will wear a little spot in where they contact the groove silencers. I personally would use a standard string silencer with the brush button, or the groove silencers with a standard string silencer as then there will not be any wear 'n tear. As for getting the recurve quieter also consider raising the brace height a bit, as you normally should only need one or the other to quiet a bow down, if it is still making noise after adding silencers it might be something (like brace height) that needs to be adjusted first.
