Have you got the noise to stop? Two things I noticed, one it looks like thecontainment arm on the ripcord is touching or almost touching your cable guard. Don't know if it is or not, but there is a chance they are slapping each other. A cable guard does flex some and that could be a problem if they are touching? From the way you describe the noise, it is much louder than normal, don't know if that is problem or not but I would check it out. Two I would make sure you rest is dropping on time. I have seen a few first handthat were not droppingfast enough and the arrow was slapping the rest. Of course you can see the wear on the vanes from this.One last thing I do agree with the above advice by others and wouldfollow through with it first. If that doesn't work thengo with what I have said. Hope thisworks and let us know.
