I am about 95% sure that my noise is not coming from the roller guard as I had that problem on the first Amiral I had hadand this is a different noise that I hear at each end of the bow. I can pull it back slightly with my ear right next to the roller guard and no noise there. If I do the same thing with my ear close to the cam it sounds like it is coming from there.....I guess it could be though. I checked all the Allans and they are snug. It sounds almost like if the string had something "sticky" on it as it comes of the cam it makes a noise?????
