How to silence your recurve limbs - recurve noise fix. Endless loop string build introduced excessive limb noise when shooting. A simple DIY fix quieted the issue. Velcro is your friend! Filmed the string build and added at the end of the video.

I used an old mouse pad made of rubber and cut it to shape. Best silencer yet!!

And it just so happened I have a whole roll velcro LOL. ✌️👍

Home made wool string silencers. Cheap, easy and work well. And I did on that particular bow. And they look good

Good way to quiet the shot down! BTW I finally got a recurve setup! I bought the southwest archery ghost riser, a 62” set of Samick Sage limbs and a string to fit. Fletched my arrows yesterday and am hoping for an opportunity to shoot soon! I might go ahead and do the velcro tip in this video as it seemed to work great! Enjoy the videos and string building! Keep it up.

Good tip, but I’d also be adding whiskers to the string and continually working on the right brace height as string stretches in and it should only become even quieter 👍🏻

OMG I do the same thing on my bows!!! I originally learned this tip from Clay Hayes channel watching videos on how to make self bows. 😁🙌🏼👊🏼

I have been shooting archery for about 49 years and I have been doing that for a long time and it does work, along with the Velcro also put two or three twist in the string. I slowed the video down your string was also separating which causes noise. great video brother. I like seeing people do things for themselves instead of going to a shop and paying someone else to do it, especially when it is an easy fix.
