Abstract:
1. A method of eliminating bowstring or crossbow string or buss cable(s) vibration and noise, comprising the steps of: providing a bow or crossbow having a bowstring or crossbow string or buss cables; providing the bow or the crossbow with a stock or a riser; providing a finger with a first end and a second end, and having at least one side with a longitudinal friction contact surface which only causes friction along one direction; attaching the first end of the finger to the bow or the crossbow, so that the second end of the finger extends out so that the at least one side with the longitudinal friction surface is resting adjacent to the bowstring or the crossbow string; releasing the bowstring or the crossbow string to travel forward freely without impediment in order to fire a projectile from the bow or the crossbow; returning the bowstring or the crossbow string to a neutral position by rubbing the returning bowstring or the crossbow string or the buss cables against the longitudinal friction contact surface which only causes friction along the one direction; and transferring kinetic energy to the longitudinal friction contact surface on the at least one side of the finger.
