RE: Radical ways to silence bows....
Introduce it to a sledgehammer and you'll never hear from that sucker again!<img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle> Then go out and buy the latest, greatest, quietest new bow. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
On a more serious note, you could load it up with Sims products.I've seen bows with 2 and 3 limbsavers on each limb, a couple on the cable guard. One mini on every accessory. Like others said, quieter strings, string silencers towards the nocking point, heavier arrows. A different or larger stabilizer might help. Don't use a bow quiver. Definitely do not use a peep with a rubber attachment. Make sure all screws and other fasteners are tight on any accessory. I've heard of guys messing with the limb pockets to quiet them down, but you better know what you're doing if you want to try that.
The downside to all this is a heavier bow and a slower arrow. On the bright side, if you drop it out of a treestand just as a big buck walks by, the buck probably will hardly even notice it.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
