Default What do you hear when you shoot???

When you shoot your bow do you hear any noises? Any twang?........any boing?? Anything?

I shoot a Patriot and have NEVER been able to eliminate a tiny twang I hear at the shot.........I have tried everything from stripping the bow bare to epoxy in the cable rod to every string product on the market........still get a tiny twang.

Here is the thing I am wondering though..........I had my brother shoot my bow today while I stood at various distances an angles from him........I heard nothing.......dead silence......just the zip of the arrow. Obviously having my face buried in the string when it goes off is causing me to hear the tiny twang and I shouldn't worry about it because it is not an audible sound outside of a 1 foot circle.

Do you guys hear anything when you let an arrow fly? Does your bow sound louder to you then it really is?

Does your bow sound louder outdoors then indoors?

I have had so many people tell me over the last couple years that they can't belive how quiet my bow is...........I just smile and say "Yea.....I like it" but I am always thinking they must be shooting a grenade launcher because of all the nice things I have to say about my bow...........quietness has never been the first thing I think of.
