ABSTRACT:
A sound dampening apparatus includes a support arm having one end mounted to a bow, and a cushion member on a second end of the support arm and positioned in contact with the bowstring when the string is in the "dead" position. The cushion member is formed of a closed cell foam material which absorbs the energy of movement of the bowstring upon release of the bowstring after launching an arrow, to thereby dampen sound emitted by the string.
