In october it seemed like I had no problem drawing on deer. Now I can't catch a break, it seems my bow makes some noise drawing back it's not excessive just lookin for tips to get the edge!

Minimize your movements. Extend bow arm towards target. If elevated lean to target. You want the draw which is the noisiest movement to be the final step. Drawing straight back to your anchor point, settling pin and releasing. No sky pulling. You should be able to draw slow enough to control those bow noises. If not then lower draw weight. Make sure your rest is quiet also. Add some felt to the arrow contact point. May need to add some more cover to your stand too. They could be seeing your movements more than hearing. Practice on that mature doe that busts you all the time. Good luck

I've experienced this before. When I would draw back, the deer would hear something then be alert.

The first time it was a cheap plastic arrow rest.

The second time it was the rough finish on the carbon arrows.

On windy days, it is not that big an issue but on calm days it can make or break you.

I would troubleshoot the rest/arrow combination and resolve it ASAP. You need to be quite when drawing back.

I hope this helps.

Without us drawing it back it's hard to tell how to help you; there are many things that can contribute to that problem.

What kind of rest are you using?

^^^this.....if its your rest you may need to put a little fabric on there to keep from sliding noise...is it in you cams,rollers? strings?....check all skrews and moving parts make sure nothing is loose...just sounds like you might need to do a tune up if you have been shootin it for a few years

another idea is powdered graphite.

Most of the time it's my heart beating out of my chest.

I've often wondered if the deer could hear my chest pounding, that's the reason I bow hunt. To me I'd rather take a doe with a bow than a 170 class buck with a rifle. I just don't get that thrill with a rifle.

Not me..I have shot a few does...give me a trophy and rifle! I'll go back to freezer filling after I take him to taxidermist!

And you're a big big puss too!! I'll see you this afternoon when you get there, drive carefully.

Oh, I can handle both with the bow. Or the rifle if need be.

X2........if you can combine the 170 with a bow......dream come true!

Go traditional and eliminate all the metal
