I'm going to start right off and say I'm not a person that likes to tinker with bows. I get them set, and as long as I can get my BHs and FPs flying the same, I'm good. In saying that, my string and cables were getting bad so to get ahead of the game, I had a shop change both out Friday. I mentioned that the bow was light, and if possible put a few twists in the cables to try to get a few more pounds out of the bow as it's pretty slow.
So, the bow is shooting bullet holes in paper, I didn't try a bare shaft yet but the bow is very "Twangy" after the string and cable change. It's loud. The bow doesn't have any string stops (it's old) and I did change my peep with rubber tube, to a peep without any tubing but keep in mind, I've never had any silencing mechanism on this bow as it's always been pretty quiet.
I'm shooting the same arrows as before, nothing changed there, but it's noticeably louder. I notice I'm 3/4 short on the A2A length and brace height is over by almost 3/16. I.e. factory A2A is 41, I'm getting 40 1/4, factory brace is 7, I'm at 7 3/16
So, question is, do you think those extra twists are causing all of this? Shop is 2.5 hours away. DL feels a bit longer as well.
I assume peep, d loop etc will all have to be reset if I take it back down to factory specs.
