Default Waxing carbons?

The past few years, I waxed my XX75 arrows to keep them from making any noise while drawing my bow. Now that I' ve made the switch to carbons (CE Terminator Selects), noise while drawing is slight, but audible. Is wax still a good noise stopper, or are there better things for this purpose?

I wax my ICS Hunters and it seems to keep the noise down a bit.

I have not tried this with any of my carbons though I did do it with my aluminums. Let me know how it works out as I am always looking for ways to make my bow quieter.

I bet a waxed arrow will glide through the air better,
How many fps will I gain???

i was told to wipe them down with armor all wipes after i m done fletching.it helps to seal the carbon fiber and bring out the color.they look nice and hold there color.

Don' t get any Armoral around the fletchings though. That stuff can settle into the carbon and cause some huge headaches when you refletch[]

I am a mole skin man, nothing IMO is more silent on the draw

Rack,What kind of procedure do you use to Trap the Mole' s with? How many Rest Coverings ,will a single Mole Provide.Do you think a NO# 1 Victor,might be overkill?

By your name you are either a sneaky guy or a trapper

I will give you the benefit of the dought and say you are a tapper. Wich leads me to guess that a NO# 1 Victor is a Trap

A big one I suppose

So to answer your question, no, moles are pretty tough
