For those search challenged folks. I thought I'd post up about the paracord sheath string silencers. Simply cut the PC to 1 1/2 - 2" lengths, pull out the white cord guts. I use 4 top and 4 bottom. Put them in the string like any other string silencer material. Use whatever distance you like, I prefer 18.3% from nocks on longbow and from string touch on recurve. Shoot @200 times to get a nice puff ball. At 2" they are @12 grains and cost @$0.11 a set. Best string silencer I've tried and I have spent some coin on all kinds of silencers. Just FYI.

Pic?
I tried them on an inexpensive dacron string and they tore the string up. There were all kinds of popped strands where the paracord sat. Using good old cat whiskers now.
These are a couple pics.
I like four 2" pieces of sheath material top and bottom. I've personally found 18.3% to be the best spacing for me. I have 60" bows, but have a 62" longbow, as well. Vibration is drastically reduced and arrow/string speed is dramatically increased, as well. For @11 cents a pair this seems pretty good to me.
