Several types of bow string silencers are available, each with advantages and disadvantages. Barrel silencers are usually made of rubber and attach to the string with a clip. They are lightweight and affordable but can also be noisy when connected to it. Vibration dampeners are heavier than barrel silencers to reduce the shock and vibration generated when the arrow is released. They are usually metal and attach to the bowstring with a screw. They are more expensive than barrel silencers but quieter and more effective at reducing vibration. Finally, string leeches are lightweight and attach to the bowstring with a clip. They absorb the impact of the arrow release and minimize noise. They are also very affordable and effective at reducing sound. With the correct type of silencer, you can level up your accuracy and hit your mark every time.
