Title: Yet another String Tracker question.
Post by: rbcorbitt on December 01, 2013, 02:49:00 PM
Okay.  I'm curious.  All of you String Tracker users out there.

Do you notice any discernible reaction by game animals from the sound of the string unspooling?  I hear a noticeable sound as the string unspools.  Maybe it's just me    :confused: ?

Just curious as to your opinions!

I have used them for 25ish years and never a problem.

There is no doubt that there is a bit of extra noise because of the sting tracker.

I have made two bad shots with mine and about a dozen good shots in the last year. One was on a bear at 10yds and I am fairy positive that the string tracker had nothing to do with the shot being bad.

The second was a doe about a month ago. She was semi-alert but very close and I hit her real high. I do not know if she ducked or I just shot high or if she reacted to the extra noise from having the tracker or if it was a combination of two or more of those things. She is still alive and I am still gunning for her. In that same time I have shot one doe and 3 differnt pigs that were all very good hits with very poor blood trails. The string tracker really helped me find all of those critters!

Bob- check out Jerry's youtube page. He has done a number of videos on them. I've seen him shoot his and never really noticed anything.
