I always thought that my bows were quite shooters, until this afternoon when I was shooting while wearing hearing aids. I guess I have some tuning to work on, sounds like the arrows are whacking the riser of the bow, any tips? Maybe lighter spined arrows? I now also know know how noisy we walk now that I can hear more like deer and elk.

Somebody earlier suggested raising the nock point a bit. Maybe a leather pad on the arrow shelf and pass. Amazing how loud the world is when you can hear better! (lol). I'm still adapting to my new implant - getting better though!

Little John,
I have found raising the brace height will cure the sound of the arrow smacking the riser. Just go a little at a time until the sound goes away.

Kenneth, Kathy's been telling you for years you've needed hearing aids. :o ;)

Try bare shaft tuning. All that noise and vibration goes away. You can get good arrow flight with mis-spined arrows, but they are loud.

Thanks everyone I will try to get it sorted out. 20 months after wrecking my shoulder I am just now able to pull a hunting weight bow with out pain so am just trying to get back into it.
