Noisy Crossbow?
 

I read, that Recurve Desings are really quiet? If true, why is my Excalibur Exocet noisy? She lets out a pretty good noise when shot! And I have rubber string silencers on, and Limb savers too!

NO crossbow is quiet, if you're used to a vert. bow. And there isn't much you can do to make them quieter without slowing the speed of your arrow significantly. Plan on one close shot at a relaxed deer. And they so using one is so much more advantageous, hah!

Quiet crossbow,aint going to happin.....

Yep, if you can make a fast quiet crossbow you would be a rich man.

Pretty much string whiskers, limb savers and string stops are all you can do and not loose a bunch of speed.

Recurves are generaly louder than compounds....they are all loud though

so true
 

Totally agree. Buckeyefootball

What the he!! do you know?? You have owned one crossbow. a Barnett, for less than a year. I don't believe you have the foggiest idea what crossbows are about, let alone if they are noisy or not!

Too funny Griz!
:busted:

I'll vote for whiskers, string stoppers and in some cases string material. If a wood stock can be had it will help as well.

Funny, I've read that Recurves are Quieter than Compounds!
