Thanks for the advice guys. Such a shame that a high end bow has these issues.
Had an off the shelf Martin hatfield t/d once that is half price and never had an issue and could shoot as good.

I own three with no clicking issues. If your  disgusted why not send it back ?
A Gobbler yelp Spring or Fall is a long conversation.

I also own three and have had several others, the only one that had the clicking noise was a t/d longbow, little string wax took care of it.

Thanks a ton for the advice guys! Putting some string wax on the mounting surface and in the holes took care of the click. I was starting to worry that something was wrong with it.

I have a silver tip an it is ff
but for the money you paid I would do what the bowyer says unless your rich an dont care if you wait another year or so for a bow when you blow yours up.for me I just would not take the chance.

My Silvertip also had the clicking. I first tried string wax, but that didn't work.

So I called the bowyer, Dave.  He said to use a very thin coat of CHAPSTICK.  It worked!

By the way, this is a very slight sound/noise.  Sounds like the lifting of the waxed string as you start to draw.

Definitely not anything to worry about.

Same hear, somtimes its very faint, sometimes more noticeable, sometimes it doesn't do it at all. Also sometimes it happens near the beginning of the draw, sometimes near the end of the draw. But it seems to be gone now that I put some wax on it, we'll see if it stays that way. Regardless it's an awesome bow!

that happend to me also 6 mo after I got the bow I thought it was too much string wax.It did stop no problems lately.This is the best bow I ever shot in my life.I am nuts over this bow I still cant belive how good it shoots.
