Title: How to quite arrow draw
Post by: Tiredtim on September 12, 2014, 07:40:44 pm: As the time gets closer and I get more excited about opening day, I have a question for you experienced hunters. I have only hunted one season with my selfbow and didn't harvest one but my question or concern is that when I draw my arrow back I hear the arrow sliding one the rest. Is there any way for me to make that as quite as possible? Thanks

The self stick Velcro(soft part) works well too.

put it on the strike plate also. ;)
