I did some silencer position testing today, and the results were interesting (at least to me).
The bow is 65# at my 29.5" draw.
The arrows are 617.2 gr right at 9.5 gpp.
With the silencers placed in the heterodyning positions (some people call it the 1/4 : 1/3 positions) the average arrow speed is 210.92 fps on a five shot string.
With the silencers placed on an even spacing (15" from the limb tips) there is no noticeable difference in sound/loudness, but the average speed of a five shot string is 213.5 fps.
I'll stay with the even spacing, and that extra speed. Thank you very much.
