You hear it going by but do you hear it if it's coming straight at you.
Hmm...good question. I have no idea amd I don't think I'll volunteer for the William Tell to try it out!

I don't know about the sound as it is coming straight at you. I can say that I heard it coming before it got there though! Same here, I ain't voluntering for that one!

My thoughts, exactly.

Someone posted a link on here a few weeks ago of a guy shooting.....with his camera on top of the target.

I HEARD NOTHING.

I was joking around with my old man... We have a concrete shed by our targets.. Has a window.. We can put one of the targets in front of the shed but there is no way for me to be directly behind or same level as target to hear.. I would def. want to be inside the shed..

The way he shoots, sometimes, frightening

I stood to one side about 8ft from my target deer when one of my friends let go of one from his Drenalin from 30yds. If I hadn't heard the whiz as the arrow went by, I wouldn't have known he even shot one.

Check out these so called loud feathers.


One of these days I will do the same with vanes for comparison.

Keep in mind that these feathers pass about 2' over the camera,so of course you will hear them.

ive done it. there is a difference in what arrows and vanes/feathers do to determine sound, but with a fast bow at close range its hard to duck, but still possible
