I have a bow was loud and the people at the club said it was fine but after watching this video I found out my problem a limb bolt was loose thanks for video
Quieting my bow this weekend, starting with brace height, thanks for the great info. I’ll use the vibration analysis tool on the Steady-Aim to get quantitative.
My samick sage is a loud bow, so this is very helpful, and ill certainly use your link to get limb savers. What about the fluffy things on the string, dont they lower the sound to, because was thinking on getting both, the Samick sage is notorious for being a loud bow.
Hi Jake. Thanks for the video. Speaking of bowstrings from reputable manufacturers, which one would you recommend? And how much should good bowstring cost? I think good bowstring can't be cheap as making one is quite laborious.
I got my new Axia 2024 foam limbs today, and they sounded like a shotgun. I should shoot 400/350 spined arrows according to charts, but I tried some 500s, and it was a loud bang. Do you think that was the arrows?
Last week, my bow got noisy. Worried the bejazuss outta me - thought something was loose - checked it out, tightened stuff, took stuff off: made no difference. Ran through brace heights from max to min: no difference. Every shot still sounded like I was shooting a .22 rifle. So I thought I might've broken something. Couldn't find any sign of that - then I remembered this video. I came back here to learn about limb dampers - instead I learned about a loose strand in my string. New string - problem solved - who knew - thanks Jake 👍👍👍
yeah i noticed this, i changed my string to more strands which made my nocks to tight, this made the bow very loud and rattlely sounding, plus made the bow want to launch out of my hand as the arrow wanted to drag the bow with it. changed the nocks, and it went back to nice quiet and stable.
Some do it one way, some do it the other. Most quality risers have the throat of the grip directly below the plunger so it shouldn't make much difference. The important thing is to always measure it the same way so you can replicate your setup.
Thanks Jake. Have you ever setup an ILF riser to hunt with? Looking at aesthetics and want to build an ILF riser, like a Gillo GT, to hunt with. Any suggestions??? Thanks Jeff
Hi Jake. does a limbsaver affect the speed (or worse: the torque) of the limbs? Because obviously you are adding weight on something you want to be as fast and light as possible? Thanks for the video!
No, but a tuned bow is universally regarded as a quieter bow. So if it doesn't bother you, don't bother with the silencers, but make sure the bolts are tight, brace height tuned, correct arrow weight (and spine), right string etc...
@@SaneAsylum arrow weight? like point weight? does it matter what point weight u use if it's tuned properly especially for 70m. im thinking about buying new set of arrows for outdoor summer season but what would be ideal point weight there? heavier so it's more stable (maybe??) or lighter for faster flight?
@@miemi2602 Total arrow weight. Too light of an arrow is somewhat like a dry fire. Loud and injurious to the equipment. Most manufacturers have recommendations.
hmm I guess bowstring silencers only muffs out the sound on "bad tuned" bows. So that means it's not necessary to use silencers if you have a good tuned bow thus it will be quiet
@@mocknugget Nah, they quiet well-tuned bows as well, just slow them down quite a bit - I mean, Jake is speaking about how the cross-section of a string can affect performance, now imagine dragging two pom-poms through the air - both the additional mass of them as well as the drag. Still, they quiet the bow by a bit and they're important to many trad shooters, especially hunters.
18-20 strings!!!! holy s... here in germany ppl use 10-16 mostly 12-14 strand strings. some even go down to 8! less strings faster arrow. a single strand holds up to 50 pounds. so from the strength perspective nothing above 2 strands is needed. tbh i never held a arrow in my hand where the nock could even fit on a 20 strand string
No problem fitting a Beiter #1 nock onto an 18 strand 8125G string, you just need the correct (thin) size of serving. I'm sure it can be done with 20 strands too
It depends on your material. Jake uses BCY fastflight style. I use Angel Majesty, and I think the strands are slightly thicker than BCY (I have some BCY652 waiting to test, so I will see). B55 dacron is even thicker, so you need far fewer strands. As someone else mentioned, the serving size also affects how the nocks fit.
@@blizzbee Jokes aside I do have my bow setup to be loud as it gives me better feedback if I were to make a bad shot. Personally I do like it but for most people it isn't their cup of tea.
My bow sounds very arsh and rattling since I mounted the AAE adjuatable clicker. I do not regret it tho, because it’s helping me a lot, actually!!! Nevertheless it is very very noisey 🥲
