Got a new bow, it's faster than my old one (but surely not THAT much faster), and I can hear my arrows as they fly to the target. Don't recall ever noticing that with my old bow.

Shooting Maxima Red 350's w/ Blazers. Shot two different broadheads AND a field point, it's the arrows, not the heads. Is this normal?

I have never been able to hear my arrows while shooting that I can recall.

I don't do much compound stuff but I would think that being out of tune could cause the noise. The more out of tune one is the harder the fletching works to stabilize flight.

You really need to address this or you'll see lots of jumping the string. I shoot blazers and they make no noise.

You may be underspined. A lot of guys get newer faster bows and forget to get stiffer arrows.

I only hear mine when there is a damaged vane or wrap.

I literally just bought them yesterday, brand new Carbon Express Maxima Red 350's. Bow is only set on 63#. I can't imagine they're underspined... everything should be perfect. Heck if I know.

Talk to Shaw about it. I bet he can figure it out. At least you know its not the broadhead if it makes noise with field point. its a shame you don't have some different arrows to try. Merry Christmas

Spine should be OK. Bow just needs to be tuned. If it's a duel cam the timing may be off.

Can you bareshaft tune compounds? That's the only way to tell with a stick bow.

Have it paper tuned and see if that helps.

What arrows were you shooting with your old bow?
Have you shot your old arrows in the new bow?

Then besides the obvious of damaged fletching,that's where I would start.

Sorry guys, was away from technology the past couple of days! LOL

It's a Mathews ZXT / Ultra HDX rest.

So explain "tuning" to me. I've heard the term all my life, but what does that actually mean? I always thought it meant to make sure the blades of your head line up with the fletchings. What do you mean by tuning the BOW? (or am I misunderstanding that?)

I will say this... I "think" I can see the arrow wobbling when I shoot. Does that mean my rest is out of line with my string or something?...maybe making the arrow leave the bow at an angle?

Interestingly, I'm very accurate with it, even out to 60 yards. It shoots consistently accurate, but it's just that "wind" noise from the arrow in flight.

Don't worry about lining up your vanes with the blades of your broad head. IMO that makes no difference.

Tuning basically means doing everything you can to your bow so that the arrow wil fly true, no wobble. Assuming the cam is timed properly; set your rest even with the berger hole. Set your arrow to be level or slightly nock high. Do this by moving your d loop up or down. Next set your center shot to about 13/16. That will get you pretty close. Next you can paper tune. Or you can go straight to walk back tune. There is lots of info on Internet on how to do this. That a good place to get started.
