Default Len in Maryland, Man needs Darton Help.

Len,

A gent posted the following over on the bowsite. Thought you may have come across this before.

About a week ago, my new Darton Avalance started " clicking" just before reaching full draw. The dealer says he' s experienced it on " at least six" other bows - mostly Avalances and two Mag Extremes. He said it had to do with an interaction between the limb bolts and the tapered aluminum limb bolt washers. I replaced mine with Martin parts reasoning that if the limb bolts/washers are the problem, then get rid of the problem. That worked for about 40 shots, and the clicking is back! It' s loud enough that a deer or elk could hear it for about 20 yards on a calm day. So, I called the dealer again and he suggested that I polish the tapered sections of the bolts and washers, which I very carefully did. I also used the grease he suggested for the bolts and limb rockers. This time it lasted exactly ONE shot; by the second shot, it was clicking again. I checked every bolt on the bow, and they' re all tight, and also pulled and checked/lubed both axles, and they' re also straight and look like new - which they are. I' ve written Darton for their advice, and the dealer' s going to call them again tomorrow, so hopefully someone will know what' s the problem. Has anyone out there experienced this problem, and found a solution fot it??? Thanks for any help you can provide!!!!!
