Clunking Noise While loading Micro 355/C2 Crank
Please watch this YouTube video. I keep getting a clunking noise while loading my Bow. The noise is quite loud and I can feel it in the bow. I checked to see if something was loose, every thing seems tight. Some time it happens when the string is 2-3 inches away from the Anti-dry fire. Sometimes it happens when the string is fully in position.
What are your thoughts? Thanks

My Micro 335 does the same thing with the charger crank.
Everything is tight as well. I just ignore it.. Lol

That is the string on your C2 jumping off of the 2nd wrap on the spool. It is quite common and will not cause a problem. You can wax the crank string and it may help or you can shorten the crank string an inch or so and that may help. Most likely it will stop on its own after some use.

Great, thank you. After I posted I searched the forms and saw several posts mentioning the string on the crank doing this.pCarnivorous wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2019 6:43 pmMy Micro 335 does the same thing with the charger crank.

Re: Clunking Noise While loading Micro 355/C2 Crank
What you are hearing is the string leveling out on the spool . In other words it is loading up on one side to a point then it slides over there was a question regarding this a while ago the noise does not scare anything as it does not last that long and it is normal . My charger does that I even cranked the crossbow when there was a deer around me and it did not notice it .

Just put some wax on the crank string and it will go away.

Call Excalibur. They have a fix for it but you have to send it in. I wanted a silent crank so I could cock the bow in the stand and mine now does not do that at all.

Judging from other posts you have made, I would conclude that you are a scientifical kind of guy. What do you think they did?nchunterkw wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2019 10:16 amCall Excalibur.

Re: Clunking Noise While loading Micro 355/C2 Crank
The problem is that the string builds up on one area of the spool as it rewinds. It's not spread evenly on the spool. Think of how a spinning reel moves as you reel in. It goes up and down to evenly distribute the line on the spool. They did something similar to evenly distribute the string as the crank retracts. Works great and makes the crank very quiet. Allows you to cock the bow in the woods without the loud THONK! halfway through. This was important to me as I wanted to be able to recock after a shot in the woods.

Hmmmm.
It must be a risky or delicate process, or you'd think something would be posted here by now. The complaint has been raised here more than once, although this is the first time I've read anything about a factory solution. Most crossbowers are somewhat handy, and I'd bet they would do their own correction, if they had a suggestion on how to do it.
