Three under shooters -

[bentpole]

Vaughn, the only way to get answers to that is to ask a bowyer. Some don't change a thing on their  bows when they build one for a 3 under shooter.Some "even tiller" their bows some do change the tiller for a 3 under shooter. I once bought a High Priced bow and I told the bowyer I shoot 3 under do you tiller for 3 under? He said no we don't. Well it was the noisiest bow I ever owned, sold it in 3 weeks. So it could depend on the limb design or whatever.By the same token I have ordered bows and bought bows tillered for split fingers,shot them 3 under and never had a problem.

Thanks so much for the help and tips, gang.

I raised the nock point up a bit and it's back down around where I expect a non-muffled string would be.  

After shooting 3 under now for a week, I don't know if I could go back to split.  I'm tickled silly by how much more accurate I've become, and it's really inspired confidence in my ability to start taking longer shots.

It may be that you are not getting as clean of a release due to three under being new to you . I shoot three under and always have but when I have trouble with noise its mostly due to the release not being clean . Keep shooting three under and once you get more use to it your release will clean up and Im betting your noise problem will correct its self  .

to answer deadsmple"s question as to why 3under is noisier for some than others,my thoughts are that the thrd finger,or lower finger on the string, is having to much contact with the string.which can also cause string torque and eratic shots also.my son solved the problem by going to "two under:also if the birdie finger  carry's the majory of the draw weight it will reduce string plucking,thereby reducing noise and flier's.

Anybody got a slow motion video of what happens to the arrow with three under.

It would be nice to see the reaction of the arrow upon release.

I have just begun to try three under and certainly like my groups better.

I always use a double nock point below and above my arrow. I also shoot only bows that are quiet with my shooting technique. Assenheimer and Schafers have done well. My black widow(sold) was the loudest of them all.

Man, I'm fairly new to this particular site, and have learned something every day since being on here.  I've only shot 3-under, so I had nothing to compare it to in terms of noise...but why is it louder to shoot 3-under?  Not a dispute at all, just curious to learn the "why's."
