What weight arrows are y'all shooting out of your assassin? Assuming someone besides me still shoots one. I've been having HELL with my assassin and noise issues. I've taken it to the shop and had it tuned properly, new set of strings put on, and everything all checked out. Everything seems to be fine, but the slapping noise is still there. The bow is 29" DL maxed out at 70lbs. My gold tips weigh in at 399g. I figured that should be heavy enough to keep the bow from being excessively noisy. But the bow shop suggested otherwise and said I need to move up to around 450g. Does this sound reasonable?

The string stop and the stabilizer screw into an empty shaft. In mine there was just dead space there. I stuffed a bunch of foam ear plugs in there and then screwed my stabilizer back on. That seemed to help the sound. Also I shoot Easton FMJ 340, my sights are maxed out, I going to go back to the 400's to get a bit lighter and a tighter pin grouping, I doubt I will hear a noise difference.

OK I have to admit a stupid, stupid mistake.... I have been using the same three arrows to shoot with and occasionally flexing them because even with the noise problems I'm shooting tight groups with arrows touching at 20 yds on most sets. Well I wasnt flexing or inspecting well enough. All three arrows were cracked ever so slightly, but definitely enough to make the noise I was hearing. Once I found the cracks and switched to never before shot arrows the noise and jump in my bow decreased dramatically. I feel very lucky I didn't have an arrow splinter in my face.
