Default bowtech general problem/question

I noticed in the last couple of days of shooting that my string is not catching in the rubber silencer. it is going to the left. has anyone else had this problem or know of a fix for it?

Could it be as simple as your stop moved? What is it like at rest, prior to shooting? Is it resting in the middle?

here's what it looks like at rest



I may have found a problem after looking at it a little more. this is the back of the left side.

just loosen the bolts, and twist it to center, look at getting a bowjax replacement rubber stopper.

Yeah they do tear after 50-100 shots mine did and im sure everyone elses is torn to..But yeah those Bowjax replacements look to be good and have heard good things mine isnt that bad yet so i will have to wait and see and hear some more about them but i hae heard that they are just as good as the OEM suppressor.

I had to remove the entire stopper and arm. It was a mother ****** to get out. Once I got it out I sanded a little of the paint off to make reinstalling it easier. I adjusted mine further out toward the bowstring then I adjusted the left to right at the stopper. This is what fixed mine, it was doing the exact same thing. Hope this helps

I forgot to add that what I had to do was actually rotate the arm that the stopper is mounted to. That was the only way that i could get proper placement

I've had my 82nd since May and the stopper has held up on mine. I shoot pretty much every day.

Get a MeanV suppressor and be done with it!!! When I shot the Bowtech's that was probably my only complaint, that I really didn't care for that suppressor they put on them.
