Jeramie Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I put a Trophy Taker (pronghorn) on my new bow (new to me anyway). Im getting noise as the rest hits back to the starting position. Its a metal on metal, "Thwack." For the shoot this weekend im not worried about it but for hunting this will be a huge problem. Anyone else have this noise from the rest and how should I fix it?

BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Re: Trophy Taker noise? Yep its why I took mine off .. they say to put some mole skin where the rest conects the base ... and then to wrap the tongs with mole skin ... I could never ever get it quiet enough for me ... but that is the fix ... wrap the tong/arrow rest with mole skin ... I switched to a Zero effect because of it ... it drove me nuts ... and I tried a lot of stuff to quiet the tick at the end of my shot .... Good luck with it ..

Gator Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Re: Trophy Taker noise? Jeramie, the noise you are hearing is where the sring ties into the rest hits the rest frame upon release. I tried and tried to get that noise to go away, but to no avail. BUT I do not think it will be a problem come hunting season.....I beleive it is loud to you because of the proxomity to the source, but when out in the woods, not all that loud.

hutchies Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Re: Trophy Taker noise? Personally I think they all make a little noise but I haven't tried a better rest yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtBowhunter Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: Trophy Taker noise? I had the same problem with my shakey, so I switched back to the TrophyRidge DropZone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: Trophy Taker noise? I've noticed mine a litlle, I put a piece of stiky foam that came with my Gobbler Gilotines on it and it's as quite as a mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deerhntnwithdogs Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Re: Trophy Taker noise? slide the rest forward so that the arm WILL hit the shelf upon release, then put an arrow holder that comes with the rest underneath the arm where it rests on the shelf and walla. Its wat I did and it works beautifully. -Chase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCH Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Re: Trophy Taker noise? I heard recently that Trophy Taker is actually a subsidiary of Mathews, Inc. And that "thwack" you hear is actually a subliminal message that says "buy a switchback". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dawg93 Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Re: Trophy Taker noise? Wrapped the tongs w/ mole skin and put some soft foam on the shlef w/ mole skin over it. No problems. I'm just trying to convince my buddie to trade in their TM hunters. (very reliable though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Re: Trophy Taker noise? im shooting Trouphy Takers on both my hunting bow and competition rigs. yes when the bow goes off there was a slight noise when the rest hit the arrow shelf. but i put a thick piece of mole skin there and it took care of it. i wouldnt shoot anything else right now. they are still the most forgiving rest out there and so easy to tune and set up..
