clicker mounting
« on: July 14, 2008, 03:27:00 PM »
Just wondering where most of you place the clicker on your bow. On the limb closer to the tip or by the fadeouts.

Thanks

by the fadeouts for me but mounting closer to the limb tip does allow alot shorter clicker string.

About 10-12" down from the tip

I have put clickers on several of my bows to help fight target panic.  It has now been over a year, but I am slowly getting better and doing more and more shooting without them.

I tried most of the "cures" without success, but found the clicker the most effective.  I removed the chains and have some clickers even closer to the top than this one.

with my bows, i found i got less bow noise and vibration by mounting the clicker by the fadeouts on the limbs.

Blackhawk is right!......REMOVE the chain! I dinged my upper limb quite a bit before I realized it.

I mounted mine by the fadouts and used some drop away rest cord. I just noticed the directions for the two different mfg suggest different locations for mounting. Clickety Klick suggests 7-9" from the tip and crick-it suggests by the fadouts. I would think up on the top limb would be less likely to get tangled on brush mounted up high and with less cord.

Using a chronograph, I have tested arrow speed with and without a clicker installed on the limb and can find no discernable difference. I mount my clickers near the limb tip in the non-working part of the limb. This reduces the cord length. I have tried mounting them on the fades and on the riser, but the tension cord is just too long and it gets hung up in the brush and even around the bow string.

I am pretty sure they don't want it mounted out towards the tips is so the cord doesn't cause any torque/twisting.  With that said, I am getting tired of my 90# Spider Wire catching on everything and winding itself around my string!  I may move it up towards the ends instead of near the riser.

I recenly switched to using string loop material (used on compounds) for attatching my clicker. I just burn both ends, no knot is necessary going through the string (just tie it in with dental floss). This eliminates the string tangling up aroung your bowstring.
