I wrap the extra 2-4" of cord around my tecriser bar on my hoyt. On my other ones i had setup i just tied it back around the cord and it worked fine. When tuning, ive actually just tied the cord around the arm to get it to activate just enuff to shoot and adjust, and it still works well. As far as the sound the cord makes... Ive never heard it and ive had them setup on 3 different bows. The set screw holding in the cable has never gave me a fit... but the allens on the underside have[
] So... make sure you check all the little allens that are on the axle, b/c if the one gets loose, it will cause the launcher to over pivot.
Other than that one little incident ive never had a problem out of any of mine.
