Didn't know where to put this so I put it here.

I finally upgraded to a drop away rest and a loop on my bow. I'm impressed with the change in consistency. That said, drawing the arrow across the rest is really loud. What's the solution? Moleskin?

Smooth arrows make a huge diff. You can wax some of the carbons to get a glossy surface.

It's better to wear out, than to rust out!

Exactly what the bat said. I use moleskin and the last time I bought arrows I was in the store running the shafts across shelves to see which was quietest. I'm sure I looked like a dumbass but since I went to mostly ground hunting a silent draw is important.
