Thanks guys. I'm not in a hurry to buy this bow, it just caught my eye at a sports authority. I knew someone who had a G.E. I've shot a Darton (I'll have to see what brand it is..I always forget) for 12 years. It seems fast, shoots flat and straight, but seems loud. I'll probably try saving my money like you said CG and wait til spring before getting something. I've got whiskers on my bow now, is there anything else iI could add or try to quiet this thing a bit. Thanks. I'm headin' out this weekend to try my luck, any ideas would be great.
