What type of string is best for quieting down the bow and reducing shock. I don't care about speed loss but only if it's a noticeable reduction in shock/noise.
Thanks.

Re: string question
Without a doubt, contact Boo on this forum and tell him what you want. I'm thinking an original Boo string with whiskers.
You're only paranoid if everyone isn't out to get you.

Whiskered Flemish, that would be the way to go!

...have a custom Boo Flemish with wiskers and my M380 is much quieter than my boys M380's with stock strings...and yet they are the ones with the 8 pointers this year....
....go figure!

Re: string question
Yeah I hear ya. I for sure know there's no way to make a crossbow "quiet". But I'm all for reducing it as much as possible. And I also don't think losing some speed is a big deal. I'm not a speed guy. If at 300fps or higher with a crossbow.....I'm good to go.amythntr wrote:xcaliber wrote:Whiskered Flemish, that would be the way to go!

...granted the BB I shot on Sat was only 30 yds and quartering to me...but there was absolutely NO movement on this deer as the shot was launched...ClintRhodes wrote:Yeah I hear ya.

I know it has been said before....out to 40 yds...they have no chance with the CB...the sound reduction is merely for our benefit... the deer hears it after the "arra" has passed through...IMHO

Re: string question
Clint, a standard quality builders nylon layout line should quiet your bow down significantly, howbeit with some speed loss (don't know exact FPS). Let me know if you need any more help amigo.

Re: string question
I shot my last Doe usin Marie Laveau 355, 47 yds. Used D97 materal string, she didn't pay no attn. to my shot. Of my last 100 or so deer none made any complaints of the string noise.
