Hoyt Trykon Vibration after release

[Black Lake]

I have a Hoyt Trykon (its the only one I have shot), I bought Used in nearly new and perfect shape, its the XL version. The bow is very nice it was easy to get dialed in and feels good shooting, but it have a vibration after release that is very noisey? Everything is as it should be from looks with string and limbs, I even removed the stabilizer and shot to eliminate that... I can't believe that its just how it is....

Just thought some one might have a helpful .02!

:sad:

Make sure the draw stop screw is in nice and tight as well as the cable rod set screw. What kind of sight are you using? The sureloc and cobra sights with the wrapped fiber optic tend to make some nice harmonies so to speak.

The draw stop screw was in fact loose, I could move it easy with my fingers, the rod set screws were both tight. The sight is a Viper 4 pin, and it does have the hard plastic tube over the fiber optics that comes in and touches the riser.

Well...did that remove the vibration?

If tightening the draw stop screw didn't fix the vibrations, try adding an STS (string suppressor). If I recall, there was quite a lot of talk concerning string oscillation on the Trykon models, and that the oscillation produced quite a loud "buzz" and vibration. I personally know a fellow who swapped out the stock string-cable set with a higher quality set (Vapor Trail, I believe) and added an STS. I do not think he has complained since. Just some ideas...

tightening the screw should help. I have a buddy who's trykon had an awful twang or buzz from the string. He took the leeches off and added whiskers. Took care of the problem. The STS would probably work too.

Hoyt's stock strings are not the best available for sure. Hopefully Doc got you straightened up with the problem but I'd go back and check every screw there is on the bow and accessories and eliminate that possibility first.

I am going to try to shoot tomorrow and see if that helped. I am still on the fence if I will keep the trykon xl. I have been shooting a Bowtech Justice (only 31.5 inches, & very light) The Trykon feels alot different, its just i have heard so many good things about the Hoyt... I need to play with it a little more before I deceide. Thanks For all the help, thats why I love the MS site.

I also have trycon xl, changed out string to winners choice only becuse peep wouldn't stay put, no problems since. Bow has always been quiet, I did have a loose screw in sight that was a little tricky to find. Good Luck!

Does it still have those dumb string shox on it. If so, lose them and put on string leaches... or better yet an STS.

Did you hear that? Didn't think so.... I went to see the pro's at Vans In Whitmore Lake. Ron checked over all the things we talked about and I had checked, I shot for him, Gorden and Larry from Livingston C&SA all heard the String noise I was concerned with. Ron Went ahead and put his custom Cat wiskers on the bow, it corrected 95% of the string noise. It was amazing! The Hoyt String shocks are just for looks, the leaches work very well, But don't last very long if your shot your bow. The guys said that they last much longer.

I can't say enough nice things about the guys at Vans archery. They are very nice, they take the time to answer your questions doesn't matter if your a newbe or a Pro, they treat you the same. I spent an hour at the shop shooting, talking and getting my bow worked on all for under $10.00
