Well guys, I've e-mailed Mathews about my noise problem. I've waxed, adjusted and tried everything except replace the dampners. I've only shot the bow 400 to 500 times. I would hope the dampners last longer than that. I'm considering putting some string spiders on to see if they help. If they do then it is probably worn out dampners. I may need to buy dampners by the gross as I like to shoot...lol.
