High Country bow loud knock

My bow started making a loud knock right at full draw. It's a single cam. The knock is coming from the cam. I can't seem to pin point where it's coming from. I don't have a press or I would have had it apart already.

 

If it's coming from the cam then it's Most likely a bearing. However you will frequently get a knock or tick from a limb pocket as well.

 

I guess I'll have to take it apart.

 

did you check the mod screws and draw stops to make sure they aren't loose?

 

No mod screws or draw stops on this bow.

 

Turn the limb bolts 1 turn and see if the noise goes away.

 

Just a guess, but I've had similar issues the following year after pulling the bow back out from the previous season. Usually for me it was the limb pocket and a couple drops of oil took care of it.

 

I to believe it is more likely the pockets. Check bolts and a little oil. Mineral oil will work.

 

Loosened limb bolts one turn and oiled. Still a loud knock. It is right at full draw. If I draww real slow it goes away and a fast draw it gets louder. Seems to be in the cam, I can feel it when it happens.

 

Bow press is needed. Could be a bad pin or bushing. Going to have to find you a good pro shop.

 

I think so too. Thanks for all the help.

 

took my bow apart today. Everything looked good, except, the spacer for idler wheel is oblonged. Could this cause a knock? Wonder where I could find a replacement.

 

Bingo! That sounds like your problem. Try your closest bow shop for the spacer. Or, get a part number and order it.

Just for the heck of it, I switched the spacers around to opposite sides of wheel. I'm going out to shoot it a few times. I'll contact High Country and see what they have. I feel like I need to upgrade my bow, but this bow and me have been through alot of blood sweat tears and mud!

 

Nice and semi quiet again.

 

In all honesty, you want your bow very quiet, not semi quiet. Get it fixed properly by an expert.

 

Gotcha, but it is a 16 year old bow. I really don't know how it stacks up to new news as far as noise. I have several noise and vibration eliminators on the bow. It kills up to 35yds no problem if I do my part.

 

I shoot a 2013 PSE Omen which is a double cam bow. I was having a loud click right before I reached full draw and the stop made contact. I loosened both limb bolts and re tightened them and the click stopped after doing that so that may be an option loosen the bolts a few turns and tighten them back up. Hope this helps
