I found this video on youtube, and while the guy who did the video isnt the most technical or a great shot or anything like that, I did find one part that interested me quite a bit.

We argue alot on here about bh hiss and loudness of a bow etc... This guy is using an XLR8 which imo is a perfect example for this. Its pretty loud compared to a lot of others, but much quieter than the bows of yesteryear... I believe that the speeds of these "speed bows" might actually outweigh some of the quiet advantages of some other setups in certain situations...

Im not trying to imply faster is better or anything like that with this thread either. The camera and setup etc. is all really subjective in this "test" so we really cant say anythiing for sure, but as you can tell from the video itself... You can BARELY hear the bow, and by the time you hear it, the arrow is hitting the target which far outweighs the distant sound of the XLR8.

What do you guys think? Discussion please, no bashing!

BTW, the part im talking about is at about 4 minutes into the video where he has the cam on the target.
