I purchased a Q2XL last spring and love shooting it, but I am convinced it has gotten noiser as I have shot it in practice. It is not a rattle from something loose but just a loud thunk. Can this be stopped by changing whiskers? Do you think I could be over sensitive to noise? One of the local pro shops has indicated that in the past.

Noise will be a lot more noticeable to you holding the bow than something 20 yards away. I was convinced my bow was loud until people at the range remarked how quiet my bow was. You might try leeches instead of whiskers. Put a leach on your cable as well as 2 on the string. The one on the cable seems to really make a difference.

The most important bloodtrail leads right to the foot of the cross

Replace or have the string twisted up. As it stretchs it lets the string osolate more giving you more noise.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

If you haven't already, you shold put on a pair of limb savers on the limbs. The bow is very quiet as is, but those do make a difference. You might also consider trying a more shock absorbing stabilizer like the doinker.
