Catwhiskers do the trick!
I just thought i'd give the Catwhiskers a little plug here.I shoot a LEGACY and the bow is very quiet without anything added but ithought i'd go for quiet as possible.I put limb savers on and that helped and that's how i shot it for a year,then i added the whiskers because i could still hear a little string noise on the shot which even when people standing 5 feet away didn't notice,it was still there to me when i shot--the whiskers made the difference--now the only thing i hear is the arrow smacking the target!For a buck seventy five you can't go wrong with a set of whiskers.jmho.It's the cheapest,easiest,and best thing a person can do to take that string noise away!

Speed is usually the only issue that stops folks from using them in comparison to leeches or some other device. However, if you trim them and place them strategically in the string then the speed loss can be minimized.

RE: Catwhiskers do the trick!
walks,
Do you put them through the string and then serve them in place? The whiskers on my Mighty Mite are through the string the only problem with that is you really can't move them around to find the sweet spot ,I've seen quite a few just folded around the string and served and others just tied on, IME they seem to work better when they go through the string, just wondering what others have found, I plan on putting some whiskers on my Dually as soon as my squidees get done flying apart.

Call me old-fashioned, but I pulled the squids off my liberty and replaced them with cat whiskers. I put mine through the string and knot them off.
THis is probably scandalous also, but I bought the new limbsaver ultras and pitched the vibrablocks. Once again, great bow, but I don't have much faith in the factory hush kit.
