Got some Dyna Puffs. They come 4 to a package and weigh 18gr each. I carefully removed the Bob Lee supplied EW Bateman yarn puffs, which weighed 35 to 36 grains each. Twice the weight of the Dyna Puffs.
Installed one Dyna Puffs on each end at same location as the original yarn puffs. I did this mostly just to try them out and hopefully find a good wet weather silencer.
Using the same arrows, the arrow is a tad faster but striking the shelf as it passes. I'd say that being lighter, the string is moving faster, and the dynamic spine of the bow is now higher. A bit more twang in the string, but not much.
I see two options to make this work better. Add another Dyna Puff on each end to have the same silencer weight as with yarn puffs, or add more tip weight (replace 19 gr insert with a 50 gr insert) to the arrow to make it a weaker spine, more FOC, and heavier arrow for more GPP and momentum.
I'm tempted to just add another Dyna Puff so that the "yarn puff" and "dyna puff" strings are the same weight and thus interchangeable with the same arrows.
Thoughts?
