I hate to be the bearer of bad tydings,but I did change to Winners Choice strings,and still had the "tick".Tried cleaning the suppressors with alcohol(when I was putting on the WC),still had the "tick".Put moleskin on the suppressors,still has the "tick".It's in the idler wheel,clips,washers,or bearings,but it's all in the top.Gun oil will help,but only for a short time.You know,this kind of thing is the reason I sold my Q2,and it's a shame I'm dealing with it on the LX.Now the voices in my head are telling to look at the Bowtechs....well they are just going to have to wait till the Harrisburg Outdoor show...Bob
