I just received in the mail my new to me Sasquatch T/D Recurve 64" 50@28. Draws smooth, but just as I approach full draw it has a slight creaking/clicking sound coming from the limb Where it bolts to the riser.
Maybe new nylon washers or rubber washers would help. Once I draw it back it makes that sound, then if I let down and redraw no sound. It's only when I draw shoot then the sound, and not all the time. It's like having a built in clicker.
Prior to this I talked to Kirk from Big Foot Bows, about the placement of the washers. We talked for almost 25 minutes very nice guy, and very informative. He stated that I had one of his original made Sasquatches. Looks like I may be sending my veneers over there for another in 60" or 62" Recurve.
Here are some pics:

Nice lookin' stick. To get rid of the click, put a thin piece of cork or the fuzzy side of velcro under the limb where it lays on the riser. You will never hear the clicks again!

Bisch,
Thanks for the info. It has cork there but it may need replacing.
Merry Christmas,
Duane
I really like the lines on those bows.
You can try a coat of wax, like butchers wax, beeswax, etc on the limb surface. One of my Silvertips did the same and the wax ended it.
I am saving my pennies, looking to order one from Kirk.
David,
Thanks I'll try that.
Merry Christmas,
Duane

Minwax Finishing Wax works as well.
beautiful bow.. congrats
Coupe,
Will try thanks.
Gib,
Thank you. It is an early Christmas present :bigsmyl:
Toilet bowl wax...
Nice looking bow. One thing about Bigfoot bows they are addicting. I have three and still want another. Enjoy a Merry Christmas!
Getting a new to me bow brings out the 12 year old boy in me .

:scared: What a crappy idea! :laughing:
Actually, there a lot of uses for toilet bowl wax other than toilet bowls. I haven't tried it on bows, but I bet it would work. It sticks to about anything, especially if you warm it up a bit first.

I'm already saving for another. :archer:
I had one like that. A little string wax on the pins and she quieted up
Yeah be sure to get some wax on those line up pins. a little vaseline even better in my opinion.
Kirk makes some nice looking bows, I always liked how he splices the veneers on the belly of the bow.
Yes, Kirk makes some great looking performace bows.
I own a SS recurve, best bow I ever own.
At the Moment I save money for the SS longbow!
Try stringwax or vaseline an you will never look back.
Thanks for all the advice.
I had a Rocky Miller Predator that did the same thing. Tried everything to no avail. Turns out that the locator pins were fiction fitted in the riser. The fix was to remove the pins and epoxy them back in. Solved the problem.
