When you are out hunting, there are several things you need to consider to get the best experience. As well as choosing the best equipment for your needs, you need to stay quiet, creep up and surprise your prey. You also need to be able to aim at animals of varying sizes, ranging from rabbits, turkeys, boars and elk. In order to stay quiet, you can install a string silencer of some kind. This is especially important for animals with super sensitive hearing, such as deer and elk. String silencers (or dampeners) come in various shapes and sizes and can be made from natural or synthetic materials, depending on how traditional you prefer to hunt. When the bow’s string twangs as you release the bow, this can startle an animal enough for it to run. This will result in you either missing the animal completely or missing the vital organs, making it a much less ethical shot. A bow string silencer will help you to overcome this problem. In order to be able to aim accurately, the use of a peep sight is advisable. This is a small circular ring which is installed in your bow’s string, in order for you to look through the center. It works in pretty much the same way as the rear sight tool on a gun. Some bows come with a peep sight already installed but if yours doesn’t, it is possible to install one yourself. They come in small, medium and large sizes and each have their own benefits. A larger one will allow you to see through it more easily but a small one will be pin-point accurate. In order to install one of these devices quickly and easily, you will need to use a bow string separator. What is a bow string separator? A bow string separator is a useful little tool, which allows you to easily open your bowstring and install string silencers, peep sights and center servings. It is advisable to fit any new string onto a bow before doing the center serving, so a bow string separator that can allow you to fit a center serving while the string is attached to the bow is vital. There are different models available, here are just 4 of the best bow string separators available.
