I have been struggling with silencing my bow.
I recently shortened the draw range from an "f" module to an "e" module.
The bow is a 05 Black Eagle ESC, 75lbs, 497g arrow point combo, tuned, tillered, and set up right (I think!).
Any thoughts? It seemed quieter before changing the modules.
Thanks!

It seems like that arrow might be a bit too light for the poundage you are shooting.
Try shooting a heavier arrow or dropping the poundage. I used to shoot my Aeroforce at 70# & found I shot much better with a lighter arrow & a lower poundage. It would help to have more detail of your arrow/point/length
I finally realized that all I was trying to do is keep up with my friends because thats what they shot at.
I gave up on that macho BS & never looked back.

Thanks! 95 Black Eagle ESC ? 75 pound black eagle arrow recomended would be 562 grains or higher. The modules should have no effect on noise. Your arrows are to way to light for your bow.

Thank you all.
MY BAD>>>>> make that a 2005 Black Eagle......
I'll lighten it up...and see about a heavier arrow setup.
Currently I am shooting Easton Axis FMJ 340s (11.6g/in) at about 29 1/4 length with 125g points.
Any suggestions here?

I would look at dropping the weight some on the bow and looking at the 300 gamegetter or the 2317 arrows using the 125 grain broadheads. http://www.eastonarchery.com/products/selection

Just a couple of thoughts,
Look at running the bow at the higher brace and adjust your stops for draw. To raise the brace put a few more twists in the string. If it has too many twist now then you may have to get a new one made. Also something to think about is getting the string made with a couple of more strands in it. Remember it is the total weight of the string and the arrow that uses the generated energy. So more strands should quiet the bow a bit. I would suggest a Dyna flight 97 string with 18 strands.
