 |  Subject: FOB noise Wed Apr 20, 2011 4:04 pm | |
| Was shooting with a freind today and after he shot the target fall and he walked to put it right up again...... Then he stepped away and I shot and he told me that my FOB´s make some noise... Then he shot some of my FOB´s when I was next to the target and the FOB make mush more noise then his blazer vanes  Is that normal ?? I´m sure it have no effect in hunting but hunters talk so much about noise and my FOB´s was noisy  Let me know what you think about that  | |

| Olsen I think the sound you are hearing are the fins, as they are spinning they are flat and as the FOB spins the fins slap the air, this is probably what you are hearing.

| The 3 fins are on a 4 degree helical, not flat. It your getting noise my first question is what kind of weight are you pulling on your limbs number one, and second are you sure your arrow is flying true(no wobble of any kind) Also realize that the way the wind moves through the FOB dose make a small amount of turbulence but nothing major. Only other thing is maybe the wind was blowing a little or something. Either way let us know. | |

| I shoot 68 pound and the noise wasent that high, but when I stand with my back to my freind and he shoot some arrows, both vanes and FOB, I could easy tell when it was a FOB Very little vind and no sound from the vanes..... I never heard any noise when I shoot them, but the noise is in front of the arrow..... | |
