Ok, I have 4 cat whiskers on it, shelf and sight window covered in velcro, brace height at 8.25" arrows fly great and are 11grs per lbs of bow weight. I am at a loss. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brian
The position of the whiskers means a lot and put some velcro in the string grooves or wrap the string ends with a good quality wool. Shawn
Usually K Mags are pretty good I shoot mine with just beaver balls. Is the string flemish twist-are the ends padded? Wherdja' get the string?
Is the noise from the string-or, could it be the arrow? Can you try a different string, different nock and what's the arrow?
Like Shawn said placement is key-but if the noise persists pursue those other items.
I have little wool yarn puff's and a small weight out front,(dont know how many oz.'s ,but was smallest one for sale 20 years agohhehe)no hand shock whatso ever and way silent...
Sometimes brush buttons will help. Keep them flush against the limbs, and they seem to cut the noise pretty good on my old mag.
Brace height and knocking point affected mine more than anything else, make sure you fine tune it. If you need that many sets of whiskers then there's probably more to it than just string noise.
Thanks for the input guys. I will get to work.
Thanks,
Brian
go to 8.5 in., mine was dead quite there...
Boosted brace height and wrapped string loops with fleece strips cut from an old glove and noise is all gone. Thank you very much all.
Thanks,
Brian

Yep.....he knows what he's talking about.
Just put a new string on my K-Mag. Stuck a ruler on it before switching and I found the brace height to be at 7". It's sounded fine to me for the past year (except when I pluck it), but I will play around with it again and let you know what I find out.

It is all about brace height. Also, check your tiller and see if it isn't out of whack; if not, then work on that fistmele. My K.Mags always loved a brace of about 8 to 8 1/4".
I'm with George. 8 1/4" to 8 1/2". Hap
