The carbon "tink"

I have a Shrew Classic Hunter that makes that "Tink" I hear it and I am deaf my buddies stand beside me and tell me I am crazy.

I have had success with Limbsavers in a similar situation and I have the last generation ones...I suspect the new ones are even more effective

Mark I can't explain how the puks stay put but they do had them on my bow for some demo shots and they stay put. Also low profile you can barely see them. Local company not far from me. They do not have adhesive on them so you can mount them anywhere.

Thanks John, Im going to give them a try.

To confuse things since some have said "I hear it but my buddies don't hear a thing", I have a woman that I work with that wears bells around her ankles. I can hear one set of bells but not the other. Other folks can hear both. You may be encountering a higher frequency sound that "some can hear and some can not". Just a thought.

Yea Mark I have a few bows that I might want to give them a try on so I think I'm going to give them a go. I know several wheelie bow boys that shoot them and really like them.

You may be right Nathen. When I get my ears checked for work ( every three years) the tech always says Im hearing tones I shouldnt be able to.

A woman that comes to work with bells on LOL thats great Ha.

I had two longbows with carbon limbs...both had that 'tink' you speak of and yes, it's annoying. Tuning didn't help. I no longer have them.

One thing you might try is raising your brace height above the recommended range...perhaps by quite a bit. That worked well for one of my other bows (high end but non carbon) that had a a similar noise and wouldn't respond to normal tuning.

Good luck.

I've had two like that and I never could get rid of the sound. Had to send both down the river.

Maybe a pair of limb savers or limb Jax. I have Dryad ACS CG longbow, I don't have a tink noise and my arrows are less than 10gpp by a tiny bit.

I fixed one one time it was a long bow and I was using hush puppies but I also installed Bow hush....that tamed it for me

My Morrison limbs have no "tink" at all. Very quiet with just the regular "thump". Bob got those limbs just right.
