Mike838 your pse takedown sounds like a problem that I learned the expensive way I had a take down and would string it by the ol step through and bend the bow to string it which was the way I was taught but I was at a 3d shoot and a Ol timer came up to me and told me I was twistin the limbs on my bow stringin it that way neadless to say he was right I ended up with a problem with noise and my string wouldnt set right had it checked out and sure enough the limbs were twisted slightly so now I use a bow stringer. it might not be the cause of yours but it wouldnt hurt to check it out
