Quiet Bows ?

[Little John]

  I always thought that my bows were quite shooters, until this afternoon when I was shooting while wearing hearing aids. I guess I have some tuning to work on, sounds like the arrows are whacking the riser of the bow, any tips? Maybe lighter spined arrows?  I now also know know how noisy we walk now that I can hear more like deer and elk.

Somebody earlier suggested raising the nock point a bit.  Maybe a leather pad on the arrow shelf and pass.  Amazing how loud the world is when you can hear better! .  I'm still adapting to my new implant - getting better though!

Little John,

I have found raising the brace height will cure the sound of the arrow smacking the riser. Just go a little at a time until the sound goes away.

Kenneth, Kathy's been telling you for years you've needed hearing aids.

Try bare shaft tuning. All that noise and vibration goes away. You can get good arrow flight with mis-spined arrows, but they are loud.

Thanks everyone I will try to get it sorted out. 20 months after wrecking my shoulder I am just now able to pull a hunting weight bow with out pain so am just trying to get back into it.
