Bow help

[bam bam]

Just got my Bowtech carbon knight and I absolutely love it.. shoot quiet.. accurate.. light... etc... but this stopper on the bottom cam is pretty loud when it gets to full draw.. any ideas to silence it?

Get some heat shrink tubing and put it on there. Maybe a couple wraps with electrical tape.

So--help me understand as I've never shot/handled a Bowtech---does that pink stop touch the limb to limit rotation of the cam?

A couple of things first...
How does the valley feel? I usually see this with a short feeling valley where the draw stop hits in the heavy part of the valley instead of the soft part of the valley.

The first thing to do is make sure the cams are timed. If the bottom cam is advanced this will cause it to hit first and makes the stop more harsh.

Very rarely is it due to a short draw length where you are still not at the max extension before the cam hits the stop. IOW, you are still trying to get into the valley when the stop hits.

You can try just moving the stop, this will slightly increase your draw length and may increase your holding weight a bit as well.

If you do try to use a dampening material as Stoof suggested I would move it to the next longest position and then add dampening material so it still hits at the same rotation. You can try wrapping rubber bands around it and or build it up with Sugru then wrap the rubber bands. If you leave it in the same position and add material it will be an even shorter valley. The idea is to keep the same feel after you have added the dampening material.

In all cases I have been able to solve this by dialing in the perfect draw length and ensuring the cams are correctly timed/synced; even an 1/8" makes a difference.

I'll post a vid of it real quick

video didn't work... but I think I'll try some kind of dampener

No need. What is your module setting and post setting. IOW your module will be in number 6 and your post in number 6; you can drop your post one position to get a higher holding weight, which also shortens the valley. This could be the case, if it is, just move the post back to the corresponding module position.

I think you can also use the post from a Black knight, it already has an o-ring on it to dampen the noise.

Looks to me like that should have a thicker rubber bumper on there. The knurling would hold it on. That what you have now looks like it would be ruff on those limbs.

I think that's a Bomar stop, definitely not factory. You can order anew one with the dampener or the Black Knight one is a little smaller for a little more letoff.

thanks guys!
