Default RE: Are crossbows noisier than compound bows?

ORIGINAL: Dnk

Acutally Dan, when you put one of my Xcel string with silencers that acutally stay on the Exals are pretty quiet. When you put a STS on it things get real quiet. I shot a silenced bow in the basement and the arrow makes more noise than the bow and the main noise from the bow is the arm that holds the arrow. A buddy of mine shot one at 20 yards and could hear the sweet thump of the arrow!


from what I've seen you use the whisker sliencers in your strings, have you ever used the "tarantula" string silencers?

my use of thewhisker type is very limited butI've used the tarantula's on my compound for years and have them on my crossbow now(with the stock string), they do a pretty good job of keeping things on the quiet side too, I was just wondering how they compare to each other...
