why is it loud

[Ian johnson]

just made the switch from wood to carbon and all I can say is accuracy and arrow durability has increased but these arrows seem really loud of my bow, where as the wood arrows were whisper quiet, are carbons just loud?

[Lefty]

What is the weight of your carbons compared to your woodies?

[HATCHCHASER]

Weight and nock fit.  Check both.

I find my carnons to be as quiet as my wood as long as I stay around 9-10gpp. I agree about the nock fit, if they are too tight ya will get that twang. Shawn

[Ian johnson]

they are tight nocks, thats the problem

Have you tuned your bow? Your bow may like a different brace height for a different arrow. That also can make a difference.

As has been said, check the arrow weight and nock fit.  I find that as long as my arrows weight the same and are matched to the bow I have no problem switching between them and no noise difference.
