My bow has lot of vibration and is making a loud noise after I shoot. It wasnt making this noise last year. I checked everything to see if anything was loose. I tightened everything down and its still making the noise. My bow is a hoyt moutain tec. I got it a couple of years ago. I have never got it tuned up. Would that help. If the cams are off would that make noise. How much does a tune up cost. Im in college and money is tight. I cannot afford to drop a bunch of money on getting my bow ready.

If you can make the drive to my shop, I'll look at it, get it right and fix it for free if you need no parts.

That is a very generous offer from Ninja. If you can make it, I'd recommend going for sure. If not, look up Dave Smith in Midland, which is not that far from Mt. Pleasant. http://bowdoctorsarcheryrepair.com/

I really appreciate the offer from Ninja. That is very generous. Not sure if I will be able to make the drive though. I have a very busy schedule up with school and my job. We'll see though. If I have a day and the cash for gas then I will give ninja a heads up a couple of days prior that I will be stopping in.
Thanks

Maybe you can try tightening down the module screws on your cams. Sounds like a loose module somewhere. also make sure you cable guard is tightned down, your sight bracket is tightned down, and your arrow rest.

Also, I've noticed on my bow that my quiver mounting bracket likes to make noise when I don't have a quiver in it...so I don't use that quiver bracket anymore. It's made by bohning and has the orange lock down lever. The lever liked to vibrate like a cheap toy on the shot.
