I wanted to see if anyone else can tell the difference between these bows.
God bless,Mudd

Cool video buddy. Too bad you do not have a decimeter. That would give you difinative data. However, going form the speakers on my puter, I believe the quietest bow you shot was the middle one, your sinew backed selfbow you recently rediscovered.

All sounded pretty close to me......with wool puffs they would most likely be almost silent! IMHO!

I had my head phones on and the sinew backed Osage seemed the quietest to me followed by the Hill then the bamboo backed Osage. Like Ron said all 3 would be be silent with some silencers.

Sinew backed had the least string noise . It however seemed to have a bit of noise from the arrow hitting the shelf or side. Fix that and it would be the quietest.
The first bow seemed quiet till I heard the second bow. Quite a swish and hum from the string.
Third bow had some string noise but also seemed to have a bit of a "knock" after the shot when the limbs stopped.
Thanks for a chance to see some nice bows being shot.

I will try using arrows that each bow likes as well as putting the regular string back on the Osage Royale and re-test.

In my opinion (with my ears)the sinew backed Osage seemed quieter but slower or sounded like a longer stroke to me. The Bamboo backed Osage sounded just a couple of hairs louder and faster. The least quiet the glass backed Osage. Would like to hear the difference with some hair or wool silencers.
