RE: loud arrow rest...
Is it a drop-away rest or a prong style? I disliked the teflon coating when I used to use a prong style. It was very loud..in fact, way too loud. I bought a drop-away rest and put mole skin on the prongs and where the rest drops....extremely quiet. Use mole-skin....your arrows will hit a little high because of the mole skin, but just adjust your sights.
