      The cavity at the attachment point is similar to a Drum. You essentially create a region where the sound can vibrate. As for beaver, I guess it is to remove the vibrations a bit from the Sinew meanwhile the play was removed to lead to less wobble. Since that wobble can create a rattle effect. The Velcro(?) I do not know.

    • @JathTech

      I fail to see how Lynn's comment is sexist in the slightest. I think the intent was to comment on her age and the fact that the skill is being maintained. The fact that she's a woman is only an aside and in no way was he implying that women are less anything.
      It's no different than me calling someone "young man". It's more of an identifier than a descriptor.
      Egg shell skulls.
      Also, men and women are different, and shunning our differences does us a great disservice. We should be celebrating our differences, as both men and women are equally important. Men cannot live without women, nor women without men. Our existence is COMPLIMENTARY, and in no way is the acknowledgement of these facts "sexist".
      It IS sexist however, to assume that Lynn Lehr is a gawking old man, especially when considering the picture of high-heels in their avatar, and the name "Lynn".

      She says nothing about the bow, nothing technical at least. But we get to see the design and it seems to work so that's probably all the manufacturer was looking for. Her customizing it like that was very interesting tho.
      Still, the bow looks rinda ridiculous afterwards and the only advantage is that it's silent so deer your're not allowed/able to shoot wouldn't hear you release? HA! Still, she's a very good host and the whole video is far above usual youtube production standards (she just calmly explains stuff, calm beautiful woods, no annoying music or effects).

    Make four - 2 inch lengths of paracord. Intertwine a paracord into the bow string (with sailor's needle or small awl/metal skewer) at each of the bow tips and 2 down toward the conventional string silencer nock position. The paracord will naturally fray open, creating the puffball silencer (and NOT STOP or SLOW DOWN ! any string speed). If you have a personal (not technical) issue with this, make the lengths 1 1/2 inch ... or down to 1 inch.
    The bow tip paracords will remove the string "snap"ping on the bow tips, sending harmonics back into and down the bow, ... and further stop any actual string harmonics that run along the string in both directions toward the bow tips and onto the bow. The regular points for silencing the string will stop the harmonics along the string. You should have a very quiet bow.
    The paracord puffball will last longer than animal leather and fur (or modern rubber octopus or fuzzy silencers). The 150-200 one to two pound test paracord fishing lines ... are as flexible as fur, more numerous, waterproof, bug proof, and mildew/mold proof. And they are far smaller than other silencer designs.

    • @dilligaf0220

      I'm guessing you mean just 2" lengths of the sheathe with the core removed?

    • @johnlord8337
      @johnlord8337 Před 7 lety +6

      Nope. Just cut whole (intact) paracord sheath and inner core and put into bow string filaments and areas mentioned. Look at YT Revhiker vid (on the right side) (who I mentioned it to first, or another person, 1-2 years ago). Can actually use far smaller 3/4 inch or 1 inch sizes and more number of puffs along entire string, versus big puffs. Defiinitely DOES NOT SLOW DOWN the string speed. Immediately above/below nock (and outside of line of sight), then at the conventional harmonic positions of half-way, and at the string-snap bow tip ends. The nock puffs diminish the nock/arrow "snap" and harmonics from travelling further up the string upon release of the arrow.
      Same options can be put into cross bows, ... even compound bows. Compounds you want to install puffs at the resting positions near the pulleys, ... and at the drawn positions. These puff positions are never being drawn through the pulleys, but when they are next to the pulleys whether drawn or resting, keep down the snap-slap of string on pulley, ... and then the other conventional puff harmonics on the string. As most compound bows ARE NOT involved with string air speed (as they are vertical movements), multiple TINY puffs along the string seriously dampen any sound. Check it out, work with such EVEN 1/2 inch - 3/4 inch puffs (tiny little buggers) and do a speed calibration test. Trim down if needed even further (doubtful), or remove a few here and there, ... and you will have a dead-thud ... still deadly accurate bow that will amaze everybody.
      If you don't like a paracord puff, then go to WalMart or Dollar Store and they sell little poly colored puffs of all sizes for $1-3. You can experiment with all these cotton (poly) balls and which sizes fit instead. The puffs might provide greater wind surface coverage as the wind can't grab the poly puff, versus actual tiny-tiny paracord fishing lines. For me, these tiny-tiny fishing line filaments are so flexible, that there is actually no wind resistance, like a deer walking through a briar patch, and only getting its fur brushed, .... same as the wind actually free-flowing through these tiny fishing lines (far smaller 1-2# test, vs fly fishing 3-4# or 8# test and see how you can zing those 20-50+ feet through the air across a stream (!). So this is why I am partial to the paracord. All those 150-200 strands truly dampen out any vibrations and frequencies on the bow string, or any bow harmonics it might have.

      In a similar fashion i used the "rubber legs", flat strips that are pulled apart to use in tying flies for fishing to make silencers for my recurve. They do have a limited life-span, since they are rubber, but i got a good 2 years plus out of a single set, and it cost me something like the equivalent of 2 dollar. The bow i used it on is a 35 lb Internature that i used on the range when i was still teaching newcomers to the sport. Yeah, a cheap dirty fix, but it worked like a charm.

      Although i come from a target archery background (I shoot mostly Bowhunter tournaments shooting bowhunter recurve or traditional recurve bow) I was actually refering to a bowhunting scenerario, so no shots further than 25m. Even if the nocking point is not set idealy it is important that the point is as close to the same every time because the arrow will fly quite differently everytime when you don't nock in the same spot. By the way a nocking point marker could just be a piece of string tied onto the string.

I think a lot of people don't know the differences and will just use the phrase "genuine leather" to describe anything made of leather.

    • @lachlanbell8390
      @lachlanbell8390 Před 7 lety +10

      That quiver is gorgeous, and is definitely not low-grade leather. The term "genuine leather" is mostly used for what is more accurately called "bonded leather". Basically they take all the little scraps of leather left over from other leather products, and glue them all together - kind of like the leather equivalent of MDF. But most people don't know that, and they think "genuine leather" means that it's high quality. And yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what happened in this video. I fell in love with quality leather a couple of years ago and I'm no expert, but I'm definitely a devotee and that quiver is stunning. It's hard to describe exactly why the leather looks high-grade, but bonded leather is used for cheap, mass produced crap. That quiver is a work of art - you don't use cheap, crappy imitation leather in craftsmanship like that.

    If you don't have a inlet for a silencer, I think this is a great way to go. Interesting ideas for dampening the string. I knew about beaver puffs, but never considered tucking in cotton if you have a space in your limbs. It makes sense though...sound needs waves to travel and if you have air...you will have waves for sound. I would probably cut the fabric nice and glue it on to make it more professional and clean, but for the purpose of the video I get it. Really good tips. Like the look of the bow and quiver as well. but at 6'5" it's probably too small for my long arm span.

    What I like about this sponsor is that it doesn't even sound like you're sponsoring it. It just sounds like you're talking about a bow you like.

    you use a very different technique to what i was taught, just goes to show its more about consistency than technique

      Mikael Crouton reproducability is the key thing in archery, some things just work better for most people, like pulling the string to the tip.of your nose and not to your eye like she does it

    Thank you for the info. I tried your bow mods and the sound of my shots dramatically changed. Still gotta get the hang of the shooting part but for now a quiet bow really allows me to take in all the sounds of my surroundings and enjoy the hobby. 10/10

    In my shooting experience I have had two bows fail with the lamination. One was even a Bear 48" bow just two months after I bought it. Took me over three months to get a replacement after them sending me one 5 pound under weight and some defects which I would not dare fire. Both back tips through the curve had the fiber glass ground down so thin that I see the grain of the wood beneath. It was really bad. I have never dry fired any bow and all my arrows were over 250 grains. Since, I have wrapped all my my bow limbs with Spiderwire fishing line of 50 pound test and then sprayed with plastic protective spray. I own 4 recurves and one long bow. Have had no more problems. I have one recurve bow of unknown maker, I bought from eBay over 14 years ago. It had a crack in the fiber glass running length of limb. I repaired with clear 2 hour epoxy and wrapped both limbs after rechecking tiller and making some side sanding to improve. It is 52 pound at my draw of 25.5 inches. Bow is 62 inches. I have fired it thousands of times with no indication of failure. There is no twang vibration any either limb. I did loose 2 feet per second of arrow speed. It shoots 162 feet per second as I remember. .... At 67 years old, I really enjoy your videos. Hope you are still well.

    For some reason, I'm getting archery themed videos from reccomended, I watched a video by NUSensei about why olympic archers let the bow drop, basically because they dont grip it only have it rest in their palm thanks to the tension on the string. It allows the archer to shoot without that shaking Lilly has in her stance. I learned something, and now you have too I guess.
