exact same thing here. had to get a new string, and splurged on a bowmaster compact bow press. I can't spend anymore $ on archery stuff this year!
ok....once again...a few tiny strands of cotton from a q-tip on top of the black (bottom) bristles...noise problem solved. never had an issue in cold weather (Maine hunting in December...cold!)
I have used biskits and drop aways, I'm spot on with either. I have a rip cord drop on my bow now but wouldn't hesitated to go back to a bisk.....
