Carbon ping

Bought a Centaur Triple Carbon off classifieds a couple weeks ago, best shooting longbow Ive shot to date out of a ton of them...but there is always a but,there is that ping sound you hear at the shot from the carbon... everyone says its not noisy but I could hear it, well I put a set of limbsavers on it and now its just a dull thud that's barely audible to me, while they may not be pretty on a bow they sure do their job.
Probably would of been fine the way it was but now to my ears its longbow quiet.

I find most carbon backed limbs to have a higher pitch then glass, most not louder but a different tone. Glad the limbsavers helped.

This^^^^^! Not necessarily louder, just irritatingly different.

I have double carbon Tip and I used TwoTracks scallop silencers on String from 10 rings strings... Made a huge difference on sound, carbon will always have a little different sound, almost a hum, but not loud just a little different...

I've messed with a few bows containing carbon and I've come to the conclusion that string material and string silencers (both material and placement) are very important to "taming the ting". The blended materials always worked better for me and rubber cat whiskers...the placement varied greatly on each bow.

Thanks and take care,

Limbsavers work great.They will make any bow shoot quieter.A high pitched tone will turn low and muted and be more base tone with limbsavers.They dampen limb oscillation on any bow.Yaa I know they don't look great.Its not always a beauty contest though.

I like to use them on my hunting bow to be as quiet as possible after I get everything else all set up right for quietness..Then I put on the limbsavers.They can actually protect your bow limb and riser in the case of a dryfire.Hence the name Limbsaver.

I had a triple carbon dark matter.Thats a bad boy.Good luck with it!

that's exactly what I do, I have them on every bow Ive got except for 2 and need to order a couple sets for them..I don't care how they look because they work so well.
