Anyone who says that deer bolted when they drew their bow has no way of knowing whether that deer heard something, saw their motion, or both. My guess would be the movement of the draw is what got them busted..............it's much easier to blame a sound though because then it's not your fault
B.S.! It happened to me when I first started using one. I'm sure there are enough hunters with more common sense than you give them credit for when it comes to determining what spooked their deer while drawing back. I don't know about others but if I can see their eyes I'm not drawing.
When I used the Goldtip arrows is when it made the most noise. I used string wax and it quieted it up a bit. Then I switched to the Bemans and the problem was gone. The carbon arrows with no finish are alot noisier than your finished carbons.
