dawgitall Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'm gonna go with string silencers this year. I haven't used them in the last couple years. I used to use your regular cat whiskers and leeches as well. The leeches tended to only last about a 100 shots in the past. I saw the Bow Jax in one of my sales catologs. I like the idea of not splitting the string. Anybody have any experience with the Bow Jax. What kind of silencers would you suggest. Looking to see if there is any new ones out there.

Orion_70 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I thought about getting the Bowjax, but went with the limbsaver. They seem to do quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikekiller Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I have never tried the bowjax so I cant say for sure how they work but I would think based on the design that they wouldn't hold up too well kind of like the leeches. I really think that the old tried and true cat whiskers are the best bang for your buck as far as string silencers. You dont have to split your string to use whiskers...I just serve mine on the string with some dental floss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'd go with the old cat whiskers they never let you down and you never have to worry about movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighoytman Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 bow string silenencers the bow jaxs are heavy after 50 or so shots the x's start to break into chunks.I have them on string Of the Pearson Im selling you can see what happens.I personally think the cat whiskers work an hold up much better,with less weight on string if trimmed to nice puff ball effect.

Thats what I thought everytime I looked at them...they are bigger and heavier then leeches so they almost had to break down like they were known to do.

dawgitall Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Thanks for all the input so quickly. I'm definitely leaning toward the cat whiskers. Sting leeches don't seem to last and it doesn't sound like the bowjax does either. All ideas are welcome! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
