Good idea! How’s it sound?

Whisper quiet... Much quieter than the beaver puffs I was using.

Look good! Better than my old raggety yarn silencers.

When they get wet they just shed water off too.

I have done this too with 7/64 Amsteel. How do you install yours GobblerGetter? When you say "4 2 inch" do you mean 4 total (2 each puff)?

That looks pretty cool! Did you happen to weigh them? I am going to try this with some I have later today. Be sure easy to make.

Yes 2 for the top and 2 for the bottom... DO NOT separate the strands, They will separate on their own. They maybe weigh an ounce each at the most... Just Seperate the string and put them in place... After about 5 shots they will be completely unraveled.

They make a very uniform puff ball! I would like to get some different colors maybe silver and black.

I was thinking about putting beaver balls on my hickory creek. Might try this instead. I probably have some amsteel lying around still.
