I have a Browning Mirage SX that I bought because of its reputation of being smooth and quiet (and because I got a great deal on it). I like it but it is not as quiet as expected. I called Browning and the person I talked to told me to check the string because some of them were shipped out without having the proper twist put in the strings which makes a big difference on the noise level. He suggested 10 to 14 twists. This is a new one on me but there doesn't appear to be any twists in my strings. I haven't taken the bow to a shop yet to do this but will do so now that deer season is over.
