Have any of you had a recurve that will just not quiet down? I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago about bare shaft tuning and between GOF advice and internet research (brace height, thickening side plate, etc) my arrow flight with the bow is great! It's a 58" Ben Pearson 1968? 43# bow and it's the one bow I can just about pick up in my sleep, shoot it and guarantee the arrow hits exactly where I want to every single time out to 15 yards and with serious snap! So the bow is tuned for the best arrow flight (very much the point no pun intended) but I can't quiet it down. I am using the same style of string silencers as my other recurve and longbow. I have tried positioning the silencers in different places along the string. I have felt to silence any string slap. My rest & side plate material are the exact material and design as my other bows. All bows are the same draw weight plus or minus two pounds, so the spine on the arrow is a match. I'm out of ideas!
I'm thinking about putting my camera in video mode on top of the bag target and testing all three of my bows to find out just how they sound from the distance of a target - because maybe it's just my imagination - you never know. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
