    Hi everyone, lately I have been hearing a buzzing sound coming from my htr, it is laud and after the shot, i was told it might be my dead end, but when I adjusted it it was still there.

    Take your hand and sort of hit your riser of your bow and see if there's a rattle anywhere. I had this problem a few weeks pack, turns out my sight was loose causing it to make noise on the shot. Hope you get it figured out!

    Good suggestion from Scooby...had a buzz sound on my bow, smacked the riser and isolated a slightly loose string suppressor rod. Tightened it...buzz gone.;)

    Something is loose. As has been said, start tightening everything.

    I agree. Something is loose. I had a similar problem a few years back and it was my sight that was loose. I check everything on my bow once a month to make sure i catch this sort of thing.

    When I used to shoot Mathews, I had the same problem. Turned out to be a cam bearing. For something that seems so simple to isolate, it was sure tricky to find.

    If it is a bearing, will that be expensive to replace

    You need to locate where it's coming from and no bearings are not expensive to replace you can get a new roller also that's no expensive either but you need to locate it or you'll start replacing everything untill you do find it if you really have to take everything off and hit the top and bottom of the riser bare bow to see if the noise is still there if so then go into detail with the bearings or top hats and or roller all are not expensive to replace.

    You might have a worn out shim causing the cam to create a vibration during the shot I've seen this on a couple bows also .

    But 8 times outta 10 it's usually a noise coming from your sight or rest or some accessory I'd take them off to see if it's still there.

    I think I fixed it, I took it to my proshop, and they put on a new monkey tail, and I don't hear it to much any more, if at all. Do hope fully it will stay gone, thank you all for the help
