Hey Bols! Thanks for the reply, but....
It is not hitting the shelf. I too have a limbsaver pad on the shelf. Only difference is that I didn't put the pad on top of moleskin.

I've thought about putting a little dry lube (graphite) into the pivot area of the arm. Ya think that would hurt anything? I know there's gotta be some sort of bearing or bushing in there along with some type of spring. Everything I do leads me back to that area. I may go to the shop tomorrow and check out some other bows with the Ripcord to see if I hear the same sounds as mine. Maybe there's a flaw in mine. One way or another, I'll firgure something out.

Thanks again,
Waid
