I'm a somewhat novice when it comes to archery. I've purchased and successfully killed with my Parker bow but am looking to improve for this upcoming season. Something i've noticed is a "twang" noise when releasing an arrow. I originally thought it was my quiver vibrating but I've since shot without the quiver and the bow still makes the noise. I'm unsure where to look next. The bow has a trophy ridge drop away rest and some limbsaver style string silencers.
Any ideas of where I should look next?

Of your experience with string stops, are there any Pros and Cons between the Sims decelerator and the Limbsaver? They seem to be a really similar design. I will have to use a front mount, as the Parkers do not have a rear hole to mount a stop.
thanks so much for the opinions and help

Should be the same thing. You can also fit the Sims Decelerator module/bumper on most of the other string dampeners. Almost everyone I know who still has an STS system has replaced the fragile STS rubber with the Sims. I have a few Mathews that I have replaced with the Sims. Works great and lasts a long time!

Fantastic! Thanks Rad!!! I'll order one up then. September can't come soon enough!

I love my trophy takers and have been shooting them from the first year they were available. However, when the arm stops in the down position after releasing the arrow, they can make a heck of a racket it not padded correctly.

Do you have some type of padding under where the rest arm of the trophy taker impacts the riser? Or some type of padded stop if you have it set where does't impact?
I do not. I'll have a look at that as well. Thanks for the idea!

I did a little test today and slid my little "x" style string silencers closer to the d loop. The further i went, the louder the bow got. That leads me to believe that the string stop will cure it. With the weight more centered between the cams the reciprocation/vibration after the shot would increase. The further out, toward the cams, the less reciprocation/vibration. I think adding a string stop will drastically decrease that motion, and hopefully the sound!
thanks for all your input guys!!
