I have a Checkmate TD Hunter that is shooting like it always haswhich is great when I do my part.

The problem I have is sometimes (not every time) I get a clicking sound when unstringing the bow.  Yes, I am using a stringer.  So what is the problem and possible solutions?

Are the limb bolts tight?  Might put something between the limbs and limb pads.  Could try bow wax.  Maybe a very shin layer of cork, leather, plastic, etc. Something to take up any gaps in the fit and provide some cushioning.  That's if the noise is coming from the riser/limb butt area.  If it's coming from the limb tip area, you probably have too much wax on the string near the loops.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Bolt seemed tight, but I took the limb off.  Then applied wax to pad, and riser pin which seems to have cured the problem.  

Thanks,

Dave
