Either Mathews is great. Been through many over the years and the Q series is by far the quietest and smooooothest yet. They are out of the box quiet but you can even silence them more with some "Limb Saver" accessory buttons. The bows come with a set back rest that has a shelf (aluminum vented)that produces a low pitch tuning fork type sound upon release. A lot of folks don't hear it but every bow with this rest does it. Attach one of the Limb Saver accessory buttons on the out-board side of the vented shelf and problem solved.
