RE: Question for you Hoyt boys??
The fact that the shop had every model, and every model did it.....makes me think it is just something a Hoyt bow does.
nodog, You are right the more I listen to it, I realize it isnt much sound at all, but it is one of those things that when conditions are right and you do hear it, ya just cant get it out of your head and its sounds as loud as a gunshot. The pro shop said the same thing you did, they pointed out that lil' stopper and said that is what it is and Hoyts do that. |
RE: Question for you Hoyt boys??
I have never noticed any noise except for an arrow going through my WB as I draw.

RE: Question for you Hoyt boys??
I didn't pull a bow back with an arrow (only a nock) but I think an arrow on the rest would make as much noise (maybe why some don't hear it) and my hands on the grip as much. I don't see why a thin layer of some soundeadening material wouldn't stop the noise. Liquid electrical tape maybe. I doubt you'll hear it over your own heart when the time comes.:D
You know what this is though. The 06 model will solve this little problem and be worth at least another hundred bucks more.:D |
RE: Question for you Hoyt boys??
is it a target colored bow or camo? i had a flame cybertech that made noise, but only the target colers did it, hoyts are great bows dont listen to those mathews junkies, i had a mathews that cost me a national shoot last year, my bow lost letoff in the middle of the second jewel of the national triple crown last year, got it back to my local pro shop and he measured the string it had stretched 3 inches, needless to say, i sold that bow and never looked back,

Good Idea, Buy the " Best " only once!;)
ORIGINAL: Allseasonhunter7 rob 1 not a good idea :D |
RE: Question for you Hoyt boys??
The sound could be coming from the stop on the bottom cam. If I pull hard against the back wall my string will slide off the little rubber stop and go around it. When this happens, it does make a noise. But this only happens if I pull past the back wall.
If this is what's causing you noise, maybe increasing the bow's draw length a half inch would help. |
RE: Question for you Hoyt boys??
I just bought a new '05 Hoyt Vipertec myself. Haven't really noticed a noise yet. Been too busy trying to sight everything in (going peepless this year). I'll listen for it tonight.

String stretched 3 inches!:D:D:D:eek:
|
RE: Question for you Hoyt boys??
Could you put some mole skin on the draw stop to help silence the noise?
Bowhunterlimerick, was it the bow's fault the string stretched? I would think a new quality string would have fixed your issue. Not trying to start anything, just wondering if it was a bad string or something caused by the bow itself. |
