[QUOTE="TNDeerGuy, post: 4082429, member: 3702"] I've had this problem with every dropaway I've ever used that had felt or moleskin on it, until my current one and I have no problem with it getting buildup or noise. I can't tell you for sure what it is, but I'm sure it is a mixture of the finish on the arrow and microscopic buildup on the arrow—my rest would always have a buildup of what equates to belly-button lint on it that I could scrape off. This never happened on foam targets, but any type of bag or box that had a nylon covering on it, I would get it and the high pitched noise that went with it. I eventually quit fighting it and just dealt with it, as if a deer is close enough to hear it isn't gonna have something else more serious to worry about. ;) What I did was scuff the surface of the arrow to remove the buildup and then use a homemade arrow lube that made the surface really slick and helped with removal and the noise. It still did it, but the intervals in between me cleaning and the noise returning was better. [/QUOTE]
