String noise off fingers - SOLVED!!!

<< < (2/3) > >>

jonathan creason:
Also, be sure that you're relaxing the fingers to release and not actively opening them.  That will cause you to "pluck" the string, causing noise and erratic arrow flight.

Pat B: That makes sense on the brace height and the string noise. I'm thinking it is nothing more than my release at this point and trying to remedy that.

Jonathan: It sure could be a "plucking" sound I'm hearing. I'll concentrate on not concentrating :laugh: to actively open my hand but let my fingers relax.

Thanks for all the ideas guys.

Pat B:
Do you have string silencers on your string? If not, tie a few rubber bands on the string, one on the top and one on the botton, and see if that helps. If so, you can add a more appropriate set of silencers.

stevecpa66:
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Thanks Pat B, jonathan, and PeteC for helping me.

If it wasn't for the fact that I was confident in your knowledge, I would have thought the advice was crazy.

But I took a deeper hook on the string and concentrated on letting my fingers relax instead of trying to get them out of the way of the string and PRESTO! No noise.

In addition my groups were tighter once I got used to my new anchor point. (I use my fingertips and their position changed slightly.)

I have no hesitation now on taking a shot out to 15 yards and will be working on extending it to 20 yards. My struggle at 20 yards is picking a spot. I see too much of the target.

Thanks again guys and come on deer season.

Oh great.  Ten days until season opens here for archery deer and now I have to try out out a deep hook release that Pat mentioned.  Don't you know you aren't supposed to make any chances for 30 days before season?!?!?! 

I've always set the string at the bery points of my fingers so that it is a "hair trigger" release, now I find out it's not the smoothest release?  ARRRGH!

I'd just ignore this advice, but it would just eat away at me every time I draw an arrow.  Coincidentally, I shot 12 arrows into a paper plate at 20 yds three days straight now.
