Patrick — sorry, sloppy wording when I said “clean string guy.” Of course I use string silencers, but minimal even there. Cat whiskers work great but don’t last long enough. Big wads of fur or wool bother me visually whether they actually slow a bow or not, and get ’em wet and they’re worse than nothing. Currently I have a single 3″ strip of rawhide, like bootlace size, on each limb. Not perfect but trouble-free. What I mean to say by “clean string” is no brush buttons and no finger pads. Maybe once every few hunts I get a limb hung up in brush and think with a chuckle “brush buttons,” but would never consider it.
