Whats that rattle Sponge?

Finally get out to shoot a round, trying to get my 2nd Class.

Sighters all going left, bit of sight adjustment and I am getting some good shots.

My shots then slowly, and steadily start going left. Now, there was a bit of cross wind and people were generally going left. Bit of windage adjustment and back on track.

Then I start shooting more to the left again. More adjustment and back on track.

At this point, Meta tells me that my bow has a rattle. My rest sounds like someone shaking a tin of nails on a good day, so I tell him not to worry.

After 6 doz, each end with more adjustment, my sight is starting to run out of adjustment and I am getting a little puzzled.

It is only when I am taking down my bow that I find that the button has nearly wound itself out of the hole.

Moral of the story: If a better archey tells you that your bow sounds different, check everything.

p.s. when I say better archer, I of course mean someone that remembers to shoot all 6 arrows on an end

p.p.s. Still PB'ed and got my second class.
