This is my first bow, I have a lot to learn, but something seems off. I tweaked a few things today on my Prime Rize and now I am getting a vibration and can noticing tell its louder when I shoot...

Turned up my draw weight
Messed with my d loop to try and get it "centered" on the string
Adjusted my sight because I was shooting high after adjusting my draw weight
Started shooting with a new release, but it is a Scott caliper release like my old one, just a new model, wasn't a big change
At the end I went over everything and retightened all of my screws/bolts on the entire bow, just cinched everything down

I was shooting this afternoon and noticed I was getting vibration that I never got before and the bow seemed louder. It was shooting fine, just loud and had the vibration. I went back to my work bench and re tightened every screw and bolt, shot again, it was a little better but still now gone. My thought is my timing or something is not off and I'm out of tune after turning up my draw weight?

I have a good shop to take it too, just would like some advice and would like to learn about what I maybe did and what is causing it so I can learn to fix these things myself. Any ideas?
 
Did you check the screws for the limb pockets after adjusting your weight? If something is actually vibrating it has to be an accessory or screw.

Well if you moved your loop you could be getting contact on your rest depending on what type of rest it is. This will definitely create more noise and possibly add vibration as well.
 
Thanks guys, got it figured out. Went over the bow again with an Allen wrench and re torqued everything down and narrows the vibration down to the sight. Found a loose screw on the level and cinched down the pins a little tighter and it fixed it.
