To much vibration
«
on:
December 17, 2008, 07:30:00 AM »
I'm in the process of setting up a new bow (53# @28). I am experiencing a lot of vibration when shooting. String silencers have been installed with little benefit. Brace height is now just shy of 1/2 inch above recommended range. Is there anything else I can do, short of installing mini limb savers on the limbs. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Heavier arrow may help. What type of bow is it?

The bow is a Rose Oak, Puma Hunter and I'm shooting a 450gr arrow.

What are you using for string silencers? How do you have them spaced? Try moving them up and down the string a bit.
I'm sure you are using the stock string, what is it?
Try a wood arrow at about 550 grains.
Maybe call Rose Oak and get their advice.

The string it came with was way to short, giving me a brace height of just under 9 inches. I made a new B50 string of the proper length bracing at 7 7/8 inches. Presently I'm waiting for a reply from Rose Oak.
I've tried moving the silencers up and down with no change in vibration. Even a second set didn't help.

I don't beleive the arrow weight should give the effect you are getting.
Per their website "The recommended brace height for the Puma Hunter is 7” to 7 3/4”".
The 7 7/8 is pushing over it.
Try lowering brace.

I actually started at 7 1/2. At that height I was tearing up my bow hand with the feather quill. 7 7/8 is where I no longer hit my hand,
so that is where I left it.

I would call Brandon and see what he has to say. I am sure he can help you out.

Try lowering the brace height and raise the nocking point as this is what you essentially done anyway.
Also add a drop of glue to the fletch bottom.
