Silencing my bow.

Silencing my bow.
This season I changed my set-up around a bit and my bow seems to have more vibration thus noise than previously. I added a Vital bow gear trapper sight and took off my string loop. My bow is shooting better than ever but I was wondering if there is anything I can do to quiet it down. I think most of the vibration is coming from the new sights. I am currently using string cat whiskers and a doinker stabilizer as the only vibration dampeners. I am shooting a HCA Four Runner pro (split limbs).
Would limbsavers for my split limbs dampen enough of the vibration before it hit the sights? I also have the sight on the farthest screw holes so it sticks out farther from the riser. Would having it closer to the riser help any?
Would like your thoughts on this before I start switching things around. Hunting season is currently open here in WI so I am reluctent to start changing things.

RE: Silencing my bow.
Make sure all mounting screws are tight. If you are shooting with a quiver on, check the foam in the hood, if applicable.
With the season so close and your reluctance to change things, limb savers sound like your best bet at this point. Plus, they will be very easy to try with the split limbs, and return if they don' t do what you want.
Get a set, slap them on as recommended (they screw together instead of glue on, at least they did 3 years ago) and see what happens. You have nothing to lose.

RE: Silencing my bow.
I shoot a 4Runner extreme and I have no noise problems what so ever . Take my limb savers off and it' s a different story. I have the savers on the limbs, cable guard, and accessory ones on the rest and back of riser below the grip. Some say it' s a bit much, but have yet to have a deer know it' s been shot at until the arrow hits the ground on the opposite side!!!!! Hope this helps
