Pine RidgeArchery Wishbone Bow String and Cable Dampener

Works very well.notice audable difference. But hard install.

I put these on my Darton Consequence, which is a pretty quiet bow but had just a touch of string "twang" after the shot. These things quietened it down perfectly. They are a bit of a bear to put on but really not that bad. They are extremely tough so don't be afraid to yank on them or grab them with a pair of plyers. Took me maybe 2 minutes to put both on.

These are not as difficult to install as some reviews make out. They do take a little bit of wrestling but well worth it. 2 of these made a dramatic difference in noise reduction. No change in point of impact with my bow.

Overall I like these string silencers, however the reviews about being difficult to install are 100% correct. Took about 20 minutes to get the first one on. I ended up having to grab the tail end with my teeth and stretch them through the hole, and then use pliers to grab them because even pliers couldn’t grab the little bit that I could get through the hole. Other than that, they work well for dampening the string noise and made a noticeable difference. Definitely worth the pain of installing them

I can’t believe how much quieter my Hoyt is after putting two of these on. I would not have expected this much of a difference and I am beyond pleasantly surprised with how effective this product was. There was no discernible difference in arrow drop in case anybody was wondering (checked at 60 pound draw 30 yards).Easy to install to, 2 minutes and I was done. Needed nothing but my fingers.

Yes, I watched the videos, performed the dampener stretching exercises and played the stupid human tricks. It was surprising how unbelievably difficult these are to install. I used tools, like humans are supposed to do, I can’t imagine succeeding with installing them without needle nose pliers. It was still a time consuming installation, but they are quite effective.

I had a new string put on my bow and it was load! After putting the Wishbone Bow String silencers on my bow is almost whisper quiet!I would and will buy again when the time comes!

Purchased these to try in lieu of the Monkey Tails. They are lighter @ 13.5 vs. 17.0 grains so your string will have less wait on it, so depending on how far you shoot and what group size you want, it may change your ballistics noticeably. Thus far they have held up just as well as well as the monkey tails and perform equally well (or better) at dampening the string vibration; at least to my "calibrated" ear.If you still want "monkey tails", Zebra now sales them here on Amazon:  Zebra String Silencers Pack, Black Installation Note:If you find these, or the others, hard to install, first soften them up a bit by stretching them several times prior to installing. I do this using a #2 phillips screwdriver placed through the eye of the head, and then pull on the tail(s) to stretch them several inches. Second, place it on the string and insert the tails through the eye, insert a #1 phillips screwdriver through the eye, from the opposite side you inserted the tails through, and then stretch the eye slightly while pulling the tails through and securing the dampener. This requires the dampener less stretching of the dampener during install; thus, extending the useful life and preventing premature failure.
