I have an 02 Patriot SC. Recently, about half way through the draw cycle, it started making a loud clicking noise from the lower cam. I cant see anything loose--when I have some one else draw the bow, I can't see what is causing it. Much too loud to hunt with(not a problem till August) but I'm also worried something has worn out and am afraid of a failure. Any of you bowtechies seen or heard of this before? Thanks in advance.
Other than a loose module screw/screws I can't pinpoint what may cause this half way through the draw cycle.
If it's happening at full draw and the cam has a draw stop on it, the o-ring may have fallen off and the draw stop may be making noise when it comes in contact with the limb. This was fairly common until we started putting shrink tubing over the o-ring mid 2003.
You may need to take the bow to a dealer and have them look it over if you can't find the cause of the noise.
If you have more questions or need more help, feel free to e-mail me at
