RE: how do we make a crossbow quieter
SW: 10 pt has a pretty comprehensive noise dampening package that I have absolutely no experience with, and you might try a heavier arrow.
I generally ignore the noise issue and suggest to others that it doesn't matter, but you seem to have a situation where it might be a factor.
Since you have a 10 pt I'm guessing you are aware of their site and forum. They have great support and even on line ordering there. Good luck and keep us posted, lol
