I want both! but if I had one choice, the noise level would be it. I have shot a bow with little amount of speed, and it kills all the same, only thing is that it must be quiet in order to get there without scaring off the animal ...

i havent actually hunted with a bow yet, but id say quiet all the way. sound travells at i think around 1500 fps, if you have the fastest bow in the world, wich might shoot 345 fps,you still have a good chance of that deer "jumping the string."

A silent hit is better than a fast miss.
