TFOX,

The quietness of my longbow came from the compound shooters who were in the shop while I was shooting. THEY could tell a very distinct difference between the compounds being shot and the my longbow. To a man they all said "Man, that sure is a quiet bow!", or words to that effect.

Insofar as the noiseness of their bows, I could hear that for myself. And I have bad hearing to boot!! As I stated above, most of the guys in the shop shoot Mathews, so I am not comparing the sound to the various Hoyt Tec series of bows or the Bowtec Patriot. I have heard one of the Hoyt Havotecs. The noise level is very similar to my bow, if not ever so slightly greater.

Praise the Lord, He is worthy
