Crossbow trigger noise

[Masboy]

When I take the cocking rope to uncock my crossbow an pull the trigger an hear a loud ping I think that is the noise I hear the most when I shoot it ? I going to check it out an if so see if I can make some kind of rubber cushing stop for the claw or something to quiet it ? mabey just the ping of the string coming off the claw? but all I know it,s loud .

I get a sharp or crisp snap with Xbow. Are the claws polished? That may help too!

[Masboy]

Yes there all polished an I here the same sharp noise from all my bows an just think that,s most of the noise I hear when shooting them ? but sure going to check it out.

If the noise is coming from inside your trigger unit I can only think it 2 things. Either you've mixed up the screws that hold the arrow retainer (forward one is longer) or the plastic buffer that catches your latch is missing.

Thanks for the imfo Don. I will check it out but my sons equinox has never been apart or had any of my tinkering an all three seem to make the same noise an just sounds loud to me?

I hear this same noise but thought it was normal since I've never shot or decocked another crossbow and have nothing to compare it with.

I,m sure it,s just normal in most crossbows an just trying figure where most crossbow noise comes from . An from my opinion that,s not worth much it sounds like from the trigger units an not the limbs that makes the most noise when shot.but what do I know I,m just a dumb old country boy
