Well guys, I've e-mailed Mathews about my noise problem. I've waxed, adjusted and tried everything except replace the dampners. I've only shot the bow 400 to 500 times. I would hope the dampners last longer than that. I'm considering putting some string spiders on to see if they help. If they do then it is probably worn out dampners. I may need to buy dampners by the gross as I like to shoot...lol.

Thanks to all for your suggestions. I e-mailed Mathews and they responded promptly. My bow has a poundage range of 60-70 but being 55 years old and a bit of a couch potato I have the bow turned down 5 full turns from max. That it would seem is my problem...string to loose. The only cure it seems is to increase the draw weight. I have been lifting weights and shooting alot and drawing the bow becomes easier every day. The Mathews rep did say that temperature will have a slight effect on noise due to the string becoming slightly longer in cold temps. As I have the bow turned out the max. it should be turned out the reduction in temp. was just enough to make it noisy. I guess I just need to get in better shape. Thanks again to everyone.
