clicking noise
 

I had a new string and cable put on a few weeks back and have been getting a clicking noise from the cam when its get about half drawn. I thought maybe it would go away after it got broke in but it doesn't seem to be. If I half draw it a time or two it won't do it but after a shot it continues to do it. I thought it might be the cable when it rolled over the cam but I really can't tell. Anybody familiar with this? Thanks.

I had a problem with my Hoyt clicking because there was some dirtin thespace betweenthe outside of my limbs andwhere the cables attach. Try some oil.

I tried some already but it didn't seem to help. Think I might try it again. Thanks.

You may have a flat spot on the pin that holds the cam in place.

Gonzodemon may be onto something. However, I would think that if it was a flat spot on the axle then you would have noticed it at some point prior to the string/cable change. Is it possible that the string or cables is jumping off the track a bit when you are drawing back? Is anything rubbing up against the limb.....lose setscrew, etc?

If it were me I would get the bow into a press and really check it out. You may have aworn bushing or worse yet a cracked limb. If you have ever had a bow break under draw then you know it isn't real nice. Better safe than sorry.

Check the "new strings", might be that they are crossed over each other wrong and they are rubbing on each other during hte draw. I had this problem with a PSE Mach-8 after putting new cables on it, changed to a cable slide that kept the cables apart a bit more and everything was fine.

It's possible that one of your limb rockers has a dry spot and needs lubed with grease. This often sounds like it's coming from the cams. The sound kinda travels right up through the limb.

I HAD A MARTIN FIRECAT THAT WAS SET AT 95LBS AND HAD A CLICKING NOISE JUST LIKE YOU ARE SAYING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE PRO SHOP TO BE LOOKED AT AND ON THE SECOND TIME DRAWING, THE BOW EXPLODED DESTROYING THE BOW AND SENDING ME FOR ALOT OF STITCHES ON MY ARM,HAND AND NECK. BE CAREFUL!!! NEVER DID FIND THE NOISE JUST BOUGHT A NEW BOW.[:@]

Well, I oiled the cam shaft and it seems to have gotten rid of the noise. Now you guys got me sceered to pull my bow back. :D
