RE: Help! My bow is WAY TOO LOUD!
'Quiet' is pretty relative. I've run across guys who say their bow is 'whisper quiet' then when they shoot, the bow puts out a sonic wave that endangers small aircraft and high profile vehicles. Then I've seen the opposite. People that say their bow is too loud, when you can't hear much of anything except a soft -thoonk-.
But, yes. Limbsavers really do work and take a good bit of vibration and noise out of a bow. The noisier it is, the better they work. Shooting fingers is quieter than shooting release, if your bow is long enough to allow it. You might also consider going to a heavier arrow.
