String suppressor noise

[md126]

Hello all, I have a 2014 Prime Alloy that I really like. The only problem i'm having is getting it as quiet as I would like. At first I thought my drop away rest was the culprit but it now appears there is quite a bit of vibration or twang coming from the string. When I pluck th string slightly it seems the noise might be coming from the string suppressor and/or the lower half of the string. Ive taken off the suppressor with limited results and am considering an after market one. I also have a cat whisker on the lower string and don't if or why that would be the reason for the noise but it does seem to be originating from that area.

I hope that description made sense. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Mike

Small rubber cat wiskers. I do this (top and bottom) and it helps a lot. Only takes 3 fps off my speed. Easy to do.

Make sure there is credit card width between the string stop and string at brace. Also I think the 2014 has bowjax on the limbs? Get some Limbsaver broadbands and replace the bowjax, put the broadbands as close to the limb tips as possible. This made my bow extremely quiet
