It seems that my top yarn puff comes apart well before my lower one. Any clues on why that would happen? I don’t have that happen with beaver balls just the puffs. They are mounted on 8 strand strings from sbd so I feel I have good quality. It’s like they take more vibration. I just thought they should wear evenly. Just wondering.

I’d opine it’s rated to how the bow is tillered ...

I've never heard of that in life. I have wool puffs on strings that have been on there for years.

I'm with fdp, I have no idea what would do that.

I have the same thing happen but with the bottom silencers.

It generally means the limbs are quite a bit out of time, and the silencer wearing the most is the end of the string vibrating the most.

Out of curiosity - what is the tiller of the bow?

My bottom one wears faster on the bow I shoot with a crawl.

I shoot split finger It’s a bear sk td. I wish I could tell you what the tiller is but I would need a lesson to do that. It also happens on a black widow I have also a recurve.

Now you have me wondering. I have a similar issue but with whiskers on one of my recurves. The top one “falls apart” after awhile. I thought at first I wasn’t tying it on tight enough. But after two sets, maybe I have a tiller issue? Have to check it when I get home.

Never had an issue with any silencer wearing. Can you post pic of strung bow ? Im assuming you have them both located at same distance from end of string ?

It may have something to do with how your store/take down the bow.
