BowJax Ultra II Bow String Silencers Review

The will help some but you will still experience some noise , you may want to try something like cat whiskers https://www.3riversarchery.com/cat-whiskers-bow-string-silencers.html .

Yes, they are effective. That's what I shoot and they work well at silencing the bow.

I would start with 2 and see how noisy it is and go from there.

Yes the BowJax will slide on to any string and any string material and will work great for you.

Personally I would use all 4. the best location is going to vary from archer to archer. I would recommend starting around half way up the limb.

These are probably real close to the lightest. I weighed several different types of silencers. The beaver silencers did show a little bit lighter by about 3-5 grains. However the BowJax seemed a little more consistent in weight.

They should work fine in that temperature.

I have personally never shot when it was that cold. We don't see those kind of temps here in Virginia. They are very soft and seem to be well made, but I cannot tell for certain how the material would perform in those temps.

I have shot at outdoor shoots in Wisconsin with the temp below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, and had no problems.

For the best string noise isolation I would use two on top and two on the bottom.

Each trad bow is a little different so try different combos

 We are using two at the top of the bow string and two on the bottom of the bowstring and we space them evenly.  The work great on recurves and longbows. Dina   

Yes you can put two on top an two on bottom on your recurve, but just putting one on top an bottom made a big difference. So not sure why you would need to put two on a recurve.

I shoot traditional, and found that two quiet the string noise nicely, however if you feel you need a little more, try using them in pairs about two inches apart from each other to start with. After you try it you can fine tune it by moving the silencers a little one way or another. I start with having the silencers about 6" from the tips of the bow. Good shooting. jim

yes 2 on top and 2 on bottom. you can move them up and down or closer or further from each other, till you find that sweet spot where any vib. is gone

  two on the top and two on the bottom

They will typically provide an increase over other silencers. They weigh less and generate less drag. This allows the string to transfer more energy into arrow.

I can't confirm that these actually increase the speed of your bow. I got them for ease of installation and their simplicity. I was using the Puff Yarn silencers before and I was always pulling beggars lice out of them and they didn't shed water very well. I could see where they might increase the speed a little depending on what you are currently using. They are condiserably smaller than the Puff Yarn silencers they replaced plus the Puff Yarn silencers had beggars lice embedded in some the yarn that increased their weight and resistance. I am using them on my longbow and have been happy with them, but I didn't buy them hoping they would increase my bow speed. Hope this helps out! Good Luck! Chris

The slide onto the string; similar to No-Glovs or finger savers.

use a bobby pin (stolen from wife) insert it on loop of bowstring, insert end thru bowjax, grab end of bobby pin with pliers and pull bow string thru Bowjax.

I took a small pair of needle nose pliers and inserted in bojax...then using a sturdy oiece of fishing line looped thru bow string pull the bow string thru...very easy

They slide on over the end of the string.

You have to remove the string from at least one end of the bow. Take a piece of small diameter wire, and go through the string loop. Run the ends of the wire through the hole in the center of the bow jax, and pull the wire and string through using a pair of pliers. Reinstall string, and adjust where needed.
