When I shoot my broadheads, I hear wind noise. They are shooting fine, just wondering if this was normal. It sounds like a fletching is tore but it is not.

i shoot rocket sidewinders and it sounds like u can hear them going through the air. i have never had a problem with any deer ever hearing or jumping the string because of this.

One of the downside of fast bows shooting light shafts with full helical. Problem is worsened if the said setup is shooting 4" or less fletch/vane.

If noise is loud, I would shoot a heavier load (shaft and broadhead combined) and change to a 5" feather (if using less than 5" ) set at 1 or 2 degree offset .

My arrows are loud also. I have a really agressive helical with muzzys, you can hear them all the way down range. But, you cant hear it till it goes by, and i dont plan on my arrows going by the deer.

The sound will reach the deer' s ears long before the arrow arrives. Now the question is; is the sound unnatural and/or alarming.

If it' s the first time the deer has been shot at he probabely won' t know what the noise is. After a while they seem to figure it out and start reacting to it. Hence the term jumping the string. It' s not the string noise they are reacting to but the arrow noise coming at them... and the faster the arrow is going the more noise it is going to make...

so true NAVY

Does it bother you in your stand when snails fart beside you as well. All kidding aside I think that 5 or 6 days in a confind room with loud music and continous gunfire without hearing protection should fix the problem of hearing your broadheads[&:]

Bees and c903 can you explane how the deer hear the arrow before the bow.The bow makes the first sound then the arrow picking up speed makes a sound.The sound of the arrow sound passes the sound the the bow made is that right? The speed of sound is fasrter than an arrow so the deer hears the sound of the bow first seeing how it made the first sound.Is that not right?
