RE: Tribute vs. Drenaline
Well, all I can tell you is from my experience of comparing when I bought my Tributeby shooting them both, and with the guy I shoot with weekly having a Matthews, and his constantly remarking how much faster and quieter mine is than his--that I would have to say that we are on opposite spectrums as far as experience goes. My Tribute is set at 74 lbs, and his Matthews at 55, and yet mine is quieter, and the difference would partially account for the speed difference. A few ounces means absolutely nothing to me. I prefer some weight for aiming stability. So my advice---buy a Chevy!!!

Make the whisker biscuit and itll be as quiet as you cna get it without an sts, the biscuit is the only thing making noise right now. It sounds great to me. I took my bow to mathews country with a hoyt and my ally was the quietest one there

I shot them both and went with the Drenalin...i liked it a lot better. It just felt so right in my hands and i couldn't be happier. I'd suggest getting one if you can and if its what you really want go for it.

RE: Tribute vs. Drenaline
I listened to both videos and honestly, I can't hear a lot of noise. To me, the arrow striking the target is no louder than the release of the arrow.I shoot a tribute set at 28.5" 70# and just the other day I had it over at a diehard matthews man's house shooting and he was impressed with how quiet and fast it was. He's not the kind of guy who will throw compliments around just to make someone feel better. He owns a switchback, and couldn't find anything bad to say about the tribute, except that I had a WB installed.I love my tributeand don't think I'll be looking to upgrade anytime soon! It is a heavier bow, but it's not like holding an 8# anchor.
