ORIGINAL: ar4000
I've heard it. I have a new 101st and 82nd...the 101st makes an odd thumping sound but not the 82nd. Put libsavers and cat whiskers and the sound is gone. Someone said the extra inch or so in limb length may have something to do with it. I bought the 82nd on a whim and was very surprised to find that it did not make any kind of noise like the 101st.
A shop owner told me yesterday that Bowtech's are more inconsistent than Hoyt or Mathews...not sure if that is true, but he says that is why he does not stock them even though he isw an authorized dealer.
I am happy with both now that the 101st is quiet.

RE: 101st and 82nd Airborne ???????
He was just making a point that between the three manufacturers he has had more issues with Bowtech. Since I had already bought an 82nd and 101st from another dealer, I just listend patiently. My 101st does sound way different than the 82nd and everyone who has heard it agrees...based on the comments I have read here and elswhere I might agree with him. Anyway, as I said before I am happy with the 101st now that I have limbsavers and cat whiskers.
