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

same here . Do you know your arrow weight or speed ? I always add weight to my arrows until they slow down to between 260-270. 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.

Good question I would have to shoot through chronograph but I shoot carbon express maxima blues 250. Pull 65lbs at 28.5” draw. The arrows do go fast. But how fast id have to see

What about tip weight ? Maybe throw an extra 50g on there and use the ol ear-o-meter to see if it helped .

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..

Trade it for a Mathews...problem solved:wink:

damn fan boys!!  lol just kidding.  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.......

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.:maninlove:

Believe it or not i just bought the triax which has no noise or vibration whatsoever. But i like my bowtech more. Just wish it wasnt as noisy. As others have stated i will just get to tuning it.

Strings and cams are 3yrs old.

Tell the truth Steve.  It has nothing to do with how the bow shoots.  You just like all the prestige and resulting fan fair that comes from owning a "Mathews."  Biz bought one for the same reason.

If it wasn't noisy before, but is now, its definitely tune.

 Not true..I am not the prestigious type. 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.:elf:

I was joking Steve.  Glad you like your bow.
