RE: So, how quiet is your bow?
I have what I consider a very quiet bow. It has only limb savers and catwhiskers on it, though I did install a poor man's version of harmonic dampeners in the cavities behind the limbs (cast riser). I have shot this bow alternately with an MQ1 and a Q2 XL, and those were really the only bows that edged it out (slightly) on noise level. Performance ain't bowtech, but fast enough for my needs. The funny thing is that it is one of those "loud Dartons". I did own a Maverick, a Mountain 2000, and an Excel, and would have to agree that they made more noise than I cared for. This Viper though is very quiet. Much quieter than the sound of the Muzzy chopping its way through 3 ribs on entry this year for sure.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
Avoid the inevitable until it is absolutely unavoidable!
