Deadhunter25 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Hey guys and gals. Just wondering what methods you have on reducing vibration or noise after the shot. I am shooting a bowtech prodigy with a 6in axion stabilizer and some hushpuk noise reducers i bought a few years ago at the Great American Outdoor Show. Im trying not to add too much weight to my bow so a longer stabilizer makes me a little hesitant. Id appreciate any ideas. Thanks in advance. -Anthony Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy K Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 The biggest noise reduction i have witnessed was a heavier arrow , then of course monkey tails . Have you shot with and without the quiver to see how much noise comes from that ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt take much weight usually ,if any . I shot my super light weight 3D arrows from my synergy and i swore something was broken ,it got so much louder.

Maybe throw an extra 50g on there and use the ol ear-o-meter to see if it helped . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob-c Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) How old are your string and cables ? Old stretched cables and string will throw off a tune a bunch. Sims limbsavers are very good at getting rid of vibration and noise. Do you use a drop away rest? Is it hitting the riser shelf ? How’s the condition off your string stop ? Does it look worn out. if it were me I would start with a good tune ( new cables and strings if over 4 years old ) and go from there. Then the next cheapest would be some limbsaver stuff..

Honestly i have always wanted to try a higher end bow to see what the difference is for shooting - so many swear by the Matthews , but i havent pulled the trigger on one. Gonna be a few years still cause I bought a new bear 2 seasons ago and i really love it, but one day....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I dont use much on my Hoyt. Start with a good tune, like others have said. I have small string silencers, a string stop and the factory limb silencers on my bow. The tune does the most IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I said the same thing but once I got mine I kicked myself for not doing it sooner. This was my fourth and hopefully my last. It is definitely a pleasure to shoot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wish it wasnt as noisy. As others have stated i will just get to tuning it. Strings and cams are 3yrs old.

You just like all the prestige and resulting fan fair that comes from owning a "Mathews." Biz bought one for the same reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you run out of volume to cover up a noise it's time to take it to the shop..lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Like good equipment am pleased when I buy something I like and it works for me. As far as prestige no one seeing me practicing, going, or coming from the woods would know what it is. I recommend things that work more me and know full well the next person might feel it is a complete piece of junk. All I can say is my Mathews has been a good bow for me and I don't hesitate to tell someone it "may" be a good choice for them. Nothing worse than fiddling with a piece of equipment trying to make it something it will never be. The most important thing when buying a bow is "try before you buy" to know if it is for you. I tried and I bought after trying a couple others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
