I use to go to every shoot near me traveling 100's of miles for a few of them,not to shoot but only to get my hands on every freaking bow I could and try it out.
All am going to say is I tried bows that you will find rave reviews about that cost $1000 and a year wait or better and if I went that route sight unseen I'd would want to beat the bower over the head with it. Some hurt so bad I almost dropped the bow and you will read guys saying "Dead in the hand"
Most bowers will send you a bow to check out if you send them a check to hold and all it will cost you is shipping fees and it will save you a ton of heart ache and disappointment.
Good luck

There's a reason why many shooters of Hills and bows of similar design choose to not use string silencers at all. The design is efficient (a.k.a, quiet).
As far as ease of use, hold a Hill the right way and it's not an issue any more than it is for other types of bows.

Owned a lot, a real lot of longbows and the two quietest by far, no nothing but the string on them. It was pretty much a tie between a 7 Lakes Short Night and a Roy Hall Cherokee, I owned several of the ones mentioned and none came close to these 2 bows. Most could be made very quiet but needed a heavy arrow or silencers on the string, not the two mentioned. Shawn

Well, I think your whip will rate right up there with the best of them with the right set up. I have two Centuars and a Mohawk shooting 630 gr arrows and wiskers that are very very quiet.

I will agree with Shawn about Roy Halls' bows.I shot a Caddo that was the most silent bow I've ever shot.

My selfbows are as quiet as any, no string silencers needed.

the quietest and noisiest bow could easily be the same brand and model bow. there is no overall, over riding best of anything in trad archery, and most other things in life.
