Hey Dave--glad to have you back! To get the Crusader as quiet as possible, try this. First, start with a naked string--no silencers, just a nockset. Tinker with the brace height until you find the spot where it is quietest (it should feel/shoot the best at this spot also). Second, tie on some silencers (I like rubber whiskers) so they can be adjusted. Shoot, move the silencers, shoot again. You will find that silencer placement can make a lot of difference. Move them an inch or so at a time. A second small set might help even more--after you find the spot for the first set, do the same thing with the second (if needed). Of course the right arrow and heavier arrows do a lot toward quieting a bow too.

Hope this helps--if you need me, just holler.

Chad
