Bow making noise
 
I have a PSE Fire-Flight and when I shoot it makes a twang sound. I believe it is from the sight. It was a cheap sight that came with the bow. Should I get another sight? I don't mind the noise but I don't want a spined deer. I don't want anything fancy or expensive. I certainly don't want anything cheap. The plain 3 pin sights would work well. I will spend about $40. What sights do you recommend.

First thing you should do is go over all the allan heads and fasteners. Make sure they are all tight. That could cure your problem.

Most cases a twang is actually your bowstring. Try some string leeches or cat wiskers to quiet them down a bit.

just be careful about the cat whiskers each one you put on slows your bow down either 2 fps or 5 fps. maybe have your bow looked at and tuned at yoru pro shop

If you spent $50.00 you could go with a Copper John 3-Pin. I love mine. Excellent sight IMO. Well worth the extra $10.00.

I'd second the Copper John. Very much worth it.

First thing I would do is remove your sight and shoot the bow to see if the noise is still there.
