Or you could add a bunch of arrow weight to quiet it down , smooth it out, and bring it in line with the speed of the Q2........then you have a bow that you are more accurate and could shoot through a tank with.

Bah!, You can add stuff to the BK and make it quieter and still be faster than the Q2
You Bowtech guys !!
I almost spewed coffee all over the 'puter this morning !!

Kelly.
I have the 04 BK and put some bow mufflers on it mainly to protect the limbs from getting knocked about hauling the bow up into the stand.
I was very surprised that these things actually do quiten a bow down as well as protect the limbs and keep dirt,dust etc getting into the limb pockets.
The bow never lost any speed which for me is a good thing as I am draw lenght challanged
The bow is only a 60lb model and with my 28" draw lenght it is pushing a 400gr arrow out at 280fps deadly quite

RE: Speed or silence...your opinion
My vote goes for fast and quiet.I'm shooting an lx at 295 fps.Prior to that I had a feather max and a Q2 that both shot 287 PFS.All three are quiet enough that many deer never really become that spooked after they were hit.Most deer will take a few hops and just stand there before falling over.Try that with the old Bear whitetail hunter.I think most upper end bows today have enough speed and are quiet enough that it's hard to tell which is more important.I've never even had a relaxed deer react to the sound of a shot in the last ten years or so.I've also shot a handfull that were looking right at me when I shot and none got out of the way,Was it the speed or the leack of noise?Personally,I think it's a combination of both.
