I have a B Riser with 35-pound number three limbs...... No matter what I do the vibration is Big Time loud. I'm thinking that a bow with this length and low amount of weight just has a lot of vibration?? I'm shooting 10 gpp arrows so my weight is good. Could this be solved and be a very quiet bow or are they naturally loud? Thanks

What's your brace height? Skip that, I don't care what the number is. Have you varied it - A LOT?

Are you shooting the new limbs with a D97 string? If so I have found that D97 material seems to be louder than other materials in my opinion. I've only had a the older #3s with a B50 string and they quiet as a mouse.

If your brace is close to 8" it should be quiet and definitely very little vibration.

I shoot 36# no.3's on my B handle with a brace height of 81/4- 81/2". Nice and quiet.

Try the above with around an 8" brace height. I use moleskin on my riser and it's one of the quietest bows I own.

I'm using D97 9 strand with 15 strand padded loops on Grayling white tips. 8" brace height. Thanks!
