Just bought a new Alpha Max and had it set up at the local archery shop. I didn't notice it at the range. When I got home i plucked the string and there is a twang. As normal I checked all the culprits sights, loose screws, etc. It is in the string suppresor. I tighten it and still had the noise. Removed it and the noise went away but the bow does not shoot as good. Anybody else had this problem.

Mine was the same way. I took the stock string leech out and added a small amount of cat whiskers where the leech was and it solved the problem.

String suppressor

Mine does not appear to be in the string leach but in the Suppressor like the factory STS. Is that what you had?

I have the same thing on my katera. The fuse string stops arent that great IMO.. Im hoping that after i break it in some it will help.. But i wish it was a threaded screw in one so i could replace it.

Well when I plucked the string no matter where I put the sts system as far as moving it close to the string or backing it away, I still had a twang in the string. You could actually feel the leech vib rating like crazy when I did this. I moved the sts back off the string about a 1/16 or less,changed the leech to small amout of whiskers and it made a night and day diff. I do agree though that the sts systems are not the greatest, but even so mine is pretty quiet now.

yep mine does it too

The bow is a shooter no doubt. I am telling it is sweeeet but I can't stand noise. I have to figure this out does anyone have any ideas. I can always add a STS.

I am hoping someone has had this issue and solved it. I know that trial and error can get expensive.

mine did the same thing.. tried the split limb limbsaver and it works perfectly very quiet..had to use a washer but the factory screw even worked...

Mine started doing the same thing after about a week of shooting. It is deffinetly coming from the suppressor. I'm thinking about taking the stock one off and adding an aftermarket one. I think that factory ones are junk. Thinking about going with one of the hydrolic ones

Thank you

Well I feel better now. I have many very good options thanks to you guys. I like the bow that something this minor is no big deal and I think adds to the fun of archery tinkering with your bow to get it just like you want it.

Thanks again
