Unlike heavy hide or synthetic based silencers, Navajo silencers are ultra-lightweight and retain performance, while exceptionally dampening vibration. Due to its rugged, waterproof, lightweight, performance retaining, and vibration dampening qualities, Navajo wool is nature's answer for the perfect string silencer. The Navajo is a small sheep with exotic color variations and a double coat comprised of wool and contrasting guard hair. This unique sheep is descended from an ancient Iberian breed, the Churra. After forced decimation to near extinction, a few Navajo Indians recovered and nurtured the breed that was vital to their heritage. Now, a century and a half later, the Navajo is rare yet stable and its wool is highly prized by artisans and fiber enthusiasts. This wool is unusually strong and the ultimate for rugs, saddle blankets, outer garments and now... string silencers. Spinning the wool by hand is essential to preserving the lanolin, normally stripped by the mechanical process. Lanolin, also known as wool wax, is the naturally occurring element of the wool that makes it completely waterproof. Each and every silencer is painstakingly hand crafted to retain the authenticity, quality, functionality and tradition desired by the most discriminating archer. HOW TO INSTALL: With the string off the bow, spread the strands of the string apart in two halves about 14" from the each loop. Slide one of the "Quiet Wool" string silencers between the two halves near the upper loop and the other near the lower loop. String the bow and shoot for a little while. The wool will intertwine upon itself and virtually attach itself to the string at the starting point. ...read more

Navajo Wool Silent Killer
These silencers are great, I own a old bear grizzly with wooly whispers and also own a new super grizzly that I just installed these Navajo silencers on. The difference is night and day, the Navajo silencers are much quieter, smaller and look great. Wooly whispers do work good for silencing but the Navajo have the edge. Would buy again and recommend.
Yes i would by this product again
this is one of the three silencers I use on my string when I hunt bambi
One of the best.
Great quality but kinda pricey. I would DIY one next time.
Heavy Duty, worth the price
String silencers are one of those things that most if not all have some opinion about. The Navajo wool is very thick with an unbelievable amount of lanolin in it. It actually has a very greasy feel, as a result it repels water very well. I have used these as a whole puff or divided them in half, placing a puff at the 1/3rd and 1/4er points on the string with very good results.
For silent launch
Turned my #45 Bear Kodiak hunter into silent death.
Thumbs down!
Most expensive, not the quietest. Had them put in on my new recurve. Within a week it disappeared. Went flying somewhere. Poor product! Go with beaver balls!
Nice string silencer
Big improvement in my bow after putting this string silencer on. You cant go wrong with this.
Would buy product again

I feel the Navajo Wool Silencers does a great job reducing string vibration. However, our best product would probably be the Musk Ox Silencers.
No you do not have to.
There is really no set distance and sometimes it helps to try and adjust them as you shoot the bow. Personally, I divide the string into quarters. I place one silencer a quarter of the way down the string on each end. Then I adjust from there if needed to find the best (quietest) spot.
Measure string that doesn't touch the bow divide by .183 measure in that distance from both ends...that will put you in between the 5th and 6th string nodes.the string has nodes just like the 2 nodes on your arrow just more of them
They end up approximately 1 1/2" diameter. These work great!
Measured top to bottom (along the string) after installation and a fair amount of shooting, mine are approx. 1 7/8". Don't look like a lot, but do a pretty darn good job for me. That being said, there are definitely cheaper options that are about as good, just not as weather resistant. Sent via the Samsung GALAXY S® 5, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone

No, the color of the silencers is limited to what we have on the shelf.
It means using the same style knot and binding that you would use for the center or loop serving on a string.
Usually when installing them in a Flemish string you do not have to serve them in, unless there is not enough twist in the string to keep them in. Now on an Endless Loop String you will need to serve them to keep them in place..
I didn't serve them. I just separated the string like the instructions said. They are holding fine right where I put them. So far. I have shot a couple hundred times with them so far. Haven't moved yet.
They will not be as easy to put back in like they were new, but with a little bit of time I have put them back in.
Yes, they will work on the endless loop strings. It is a good idea to serve them in to place like any other silencer on an endless loop string.
