    Started to redo silencing material on shelf of bow and realized the ripcord arm is not hitting it. I have replaced the original arm with new code red. I checked it out and the clack is internal. Wondered if any one has experienced this and has a fix. The rest is in its 2nd season.

    I have not on mine. Contact ripcord. If I remember correctly they claim the rest to be completely silent.

    How old is it?

    This is its 2nd season..Its my second one and have had no problems with either. The code red arm is angled up slightly and does not contact the shelf. Sounds like what ever silencing used internally has worn or broke..But I don't think anything is actually broken..it is still working fine, accuracy wise...Just a "clack" at the end of travel. Think a call to Ripcord is in order..Called for the replacement launch arm and got great service..Thanks

    Everyone knows that underspined arrows cause rest's to clack.

    This is an issue internally..The tech at Ripcord I spoke to has a good idea of what may be the problem. This clack was noticed with all the arrows in the quiver..spine not in the equation.

    Think the spine guy was spam.

    Sucks your rest has a click but good to hear of a good experience working with them.

    Roger that, on the spam..noticed the time of post was reeeal late..I figured he didnt read my post through..no deal..shot a doe friday..she didnt seem to notice clack. I had just finished a 17 day hunt and always go through my gear and pull some maintenace. Just something I noticed that wasnt there before. I had 3 seasons on the Ripcord before this one, with no problems.
