I've noticed that arrows do make a lot of noise when flying toward the apple on top of my head.<img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle> Seriously, my friend has a shed in his back yard and I went around the side of it to hear how loud his bow is and the arrows with an aggressive helical make more noise that those with a straight fletch and offset. I found that to be interesting.

Belle, it sounds like you got your bow pretty quiet. You don't want to make so many changes that you have to completely change your setup. I don't know when your season starts, but it's got to be pretty close.
