I USED to have one, practiced all summer long with it and loved it, until one October evening. It was one of those cool, about freezing, evenings with no wind and very still. I had a doe coming towards me and I drew on her at about 40 yards and the arrow coming through that biscuit sounded like finger nails on a chalkboard. Needless to say she was gone. I suspect it made noise all summer long that I never noticed until that still, quiet evening. I also thought maybe the cold stiffened the bristles. Anyway I tried calling Carolina Archery Products to see why it was doing this and what I could do and they never returned phone calls. The rest came off the next day.
