Default How quiet is your Patriot???

Well, my new bow is shooting wonderfully and faster then anything I am used to. My 30 yard shots hit hard on a straight line (no more arc). Speed like that is a nice bonus for short draw archers. I also have it up to 67lbs and I don' t flail like a moron pulling it back.

Here is the rub

When I shot the bow indoors it was almost scarey quiet........still is. But when I go outside and shoot I hear a TWANG on every release. It sounds loud to me but I shot with a friend tonight and he said it was pretty quiet. All bolts are tight and I removed every accessory one at a time to see if that was it. No change.

How do you guys rate your Pats on quietness???? It is still smooth as silk and faster then a rabbit but that TWANG is bugging me. Am I just being a perfectionist?? or do I have to address this problem because no one else hears a thing from their Pat.

My setup is
67lbs
27" draw
peep tube
Copper John Dead Nuts 5 pin
NAP 4000 Drop Away
Hush Kit
PSE Carbon Force Extreme 200' s 100 grain tips 4" vanes
