It’s funny you guys mention SBD strings, and it’s interesting just how much personal experience differs with different setups. I’ve tried several SBD strings (with wool puffs) and never found them to be any quieter than my typical 16-strand FF strings, not matter how much I tuned them. And this has been the same experience on several different bows. But, I’ve heard so many good things about them, and I have a buddy that loves them on his bows, so I’m not sure what the deal is, and why they haven’t worked well for me.
