What is the best silencer for a bow?

Answer 1

The answer depends on what the archer wants out of a silencer. A "string tamer" is an excellent choice to add because it stops string slap and significantly reduces vibration without any loss in arrow speed. If you add "Spiders" or an equivalent thereof, you will experience a decrease in arrow speed...albeit by only a few feet per second. This addition can be nullified with the additional use of speed balls; however, an after market adaptation like the speed ball may increase wear on the string. Another vibration/silencer dampener is a good stabilizer. These are but a few of the things you can do to silence a bow.
