Tying Cat Whiskers on a bow string. 

Hi, Andy. In my not-very-humble opinion, though this video is six years old, your method of installing cat whiskers is the best on RU-vid. This is due in no small part to your use of the Constrictor Knot, which my sailing-enthusiast uncle taught me more than 50 years ago. I've used it hundreds of times ever since-in a wide variety of situations‚ and I think it deserves far more exposure and popularity. In any event, the nice, round shape that results from your cat-whiskers installation method looks great and performs really well. Thanks, Chris (in Maine)

Thank you. You just increased the quality of my cat whiskers 10 fold.

Just what I needed! Many thanks from Maine. My cat whiskers arrived in the mail with no instructions whatsoever!

Brilliant video. Thank you.

Best on the Web! Thank you!

Would fishing line work...dont have bow string

Thanks mate.

Thank You✌🏻

I don't have that kind of string, but I do have tooth floss, lol.

Hello again, Andy. I just put a pair of cat whiskers on the string of my takedown recurve, following your procedure to the letter. The only problem I had-unfortunately it was a significant one-was wrapping the strips of "whiskers" around the string. The springy rubber kept unwrapping, no matter what I tried. As a result, my "foundation" for the rest of the installation was uneven and loose. The resulting "spheres" of rubber strands certainly deaden the sound of the string, but they look sloppy and ugly. Did I do something wrong? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Best, Chris

Andy You make look so easy . From the loop how far down the string do you tie it on . Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍

Do I have to use a specific string or would fishing braided line be a viable choice?

Would it work better to go through strands in the middle then tie on? Or it doesn't matter and this is easier?

Could I just use thread?

Thx for the vid. Can I use a piece of rubber from inside of a soccer ball or some rubber like that? Or I have to buy specifically rubber cat whiskers for a bow? And can I use fishing line for tying it? Thanks
