i had the same concerns about my WB when i first bought it. it will quieten down some after you shoot some arrows through it. i've taken two does this year....one at 34 yards and the other at 12 yards. neither of them heard me draw my bow. it was a very calm day on the second doe. i was so scared that drawing the arrow would alert the deer, but she didn't even raise her head.

i do know that camo arrows make more noise than arrows with a smooth finish. i'm shooting 2213 xx78 camo arrows. i wipe them lightly with armour all's towelettes and let them dry a couple of days before i take them to the woods. that helps!

good luck!
