Tough to agree on a "standard" for noise testing.

Where do you sample the noise from the bow? 3 feet in front of? 1 foot off to the side? At 10yds? Is this measured indoor? Outdoors? (that will make a difference)

70# bow? 60# bow? At how many grains per pound? What drawlength?

And then there is A-weighting and C-weighting of measuring sound. Which to use for a bow?

I guess there's too many variables to get everyone to agree to. Heck we can't even get manufacturers to give accurate AMO drawlengthor IBO speed specifications as it is.
