Fast Flight String Noise

[bob sarrels]

You guys quit pickin on my Buddy Bisch taken up for you here bud. Did you hear me. Jerry did you hear me.

[M.E.B.]

I have no problem hearing the "thud" of a longbow and the "TWANG" of a recurve! None at all. None of you folks understand hearing loss. It is not that I don't hear, it is that I don't understand spoken words, esp those in the higher frequencies.

Well then you probably can't hear me worth a crap. I've been told that my voice is rather high pitched. I've always thought I sound like John Wayne until I hear myself on a tape recorder and wonder who the Hell that is.

My wife says I don't hear well. I have been telling hear for 36 yrs that I work in a high noise area and I have a constant loud ringing in my ears. I tone things out or I would go nuts. I keep telling her to get my attention then talk. She is 3 sentences into everything she is trying to tell me before I ever know she is talking to me.

Bisch if we did not love ya we would not pick on you.

UPDATE:

I tried removing weight from the tip and it did not seem to make a difference.

After leaving the bow strung for several days the string seemed to quiet slightly.

After doing some reading, I found a suggestion to wax the limbs where they contact the pockets on the riser. I put a coating on the limbs and bolts, and seems to have helped as well.

Unfortunately the bow is nowhere near as silent as it was before the string swap.
