Beaver Fur Bow String Silencers Reviews

I like them but I think cat whiskers quiet the bow down better
Easy to use and works well

These are easy to thread into the string and seem to work quite well. Just opened up the twist on the string, stick one end in, twist the string closed again, wrap them tightly along the direction of the twist, and when you get to the end open up the string again and put the other end in, twist it back up tight, string it up, and shoot away. They seem to hold up well.

Put 2 of these on a Bear Super Grizzley hunting recurve. Serves the purpose very well. Went on YouTube to find the best way to install them. Super easy to install.

I performed an extensive sound and speed test on String Silencers. I utilized calibrated sound equipment and I also performed a Single Blind Study on multiple experienced Archers. I considered dry and wet environments. The Beaver Balls did not perform as well as some alternate synthetic solutions. This can be magnified in wet weather if the silencer gets saturated.
I would buy this product again

These silencers are easy to install and they work. Not as good as the mountain man beaver balls but still quite the string okay

Other than equal spacing is there any position on the bowstring that is most effective placement? I currently have mine 4 finger widths from where my brush bottoms touch the recurve.
Generally 12-14" down from the loop works well.

Craig, I know on a compound the four beads next to the cam supposedly gives your arrow more speed. However on a long bow or recurve bow I can only suggest by try and error with a good sound device, that picks up decibels readings, you can pick the right spot on your string to reduce string vibrations.

Yes you would be able to clean those up and get them to puff back out. You would need to work the excess wax out.

David I can’t answer your question completely because it’s been so long since I installed them. They are about an inch wide and can’t be very long since they only wrap around the strings a couple of times as far as I can tell without removing them. They make a nice puff and do a great job silencing the strings. Sorry I can’t provide any more detail than that. Matt

Yes, the installation is the same. Whichever string you use, it you plan to install them yourself have a bow press handy or be clever. I installed mine successfully without a press and it was frustrating at best. Sent from my iPhone

The Beaver Fur string silencers do well in wet conditions, but they are not waterproof. I would say you would be good with them, but if still concerned, go with all-rubber silencers like cat whiskers, Super String Leeches, or BowJax Ultra II.

11 years ago
Better than the puffs for sure. I think the best option for damp shootin is the cat whiskers (rubber) but you lose the traditional look. I also recommend coupling the beaver balls with the calf skin on your risers. The wet string slaps your limbs pretty bad. Those two, and a quick prayer to the deity of your choice is your best bet while still maiming a classic look. Sent from my iPhone
