Who makes the quietest r/d longbow you have never heard? Let's include the hybrids as well. For me the quietest hybrid was a Kohannah Fury and the quietest d-shape has been a Mohawk.
-
Lots of different opinons on this one. I have a few different bows that are very quiet but some it took a little more messing with to get that way.
-
Dwyer Original. BILL
-
There are alot of R/D bows that are quiet,there design I feel makes them quieter then like a Hybrid.But there are alot of variables in making a quiet bow.I have had alot of R/D bows from different bowyers that were all just as quiet as each other.Some may be more but you can make them quiet with some different silencing methods.A Fox,Dwyer,Big Horn Ramhunter,Kohannah and many others.

Toelke Whip ,Quietest i ever shot!!
-
Crow Creek Blackfeather.
-
Another vote for the Toelke whip. Quietest bow I've shot (besides a Toelke D bow, but that doesn't fit the r/d requirement). Another super quiet bow is an A&H ACS with wood riser (aluminum seems to have a higher pitch)...Mike
-
APACHE by Roy Hall.Almost makes you think your deaf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Shady, the aluminum risered Swan Classic belly mount I have hands down. To bad it is the only one ever made like it. Haven't shot the new style classics on the new riser yet.
-
Thanks guys. Now opinions from the evening crowd.
-
Hall bows are very quiet, as well as Fox, and most 21st Century bows too. Most can be tuned to be quiet.
-
My Dryad soothsayer (quietest natural bow)
and my Buffalo bow by BigJim (fiberglass)
are the quietest bows I have had. you really need look up Big Jims Bow Campany right here in Georgia.
-
Griffins in my experience.
-
Mohawk and a Horne's Traditionalist; so quiet you could get another shot off if you had to.Hybrids? I could tell you the ones that weren't quiet, but that's another Thread LOL! :saywhat: :bigsmyl:

Toelke Whip. Centaur is close with out the carbon in the limbs. Most long bows are quiet anyway.

Whip

I've got a Monarch Imperial, 62" 80#@29". From 3' away you can't hear it, just a very faint puff.
Very Quiet! :thumbsup:
-
My OKAW Osage Royale and GN Critter Gitter are both dead quiet, even without silencers. My Robertson is very quiet also. None of these are hybrids. The Critter Gitter is so quiet, that I'm looking out for a CG Special.
-
I would to put a shout out too 21 century!!!! ,,, they were the first hybirds-- the speed demeans in trad . After there radical design many changed direction...and here we are today
-
Sorry, :banghead: i mean I would like too put a shout out to 21 century!! :clapper:
-
A buddy of mine and his son both shoot Striker Stingers, they're decidedly on the quiet side.
-
Fox bows are hard to beat.
-
Haven't tried as many as some here, but the quietest one I've never heard was my buddy's all osage Pronghorn 3ptd. My 64" Griffin is (was) quiet IMHO, but the Prongy was as quiet without silencers on the string. 1/2 of a catwhisker on each end and there is nothing but the string cuttin the air.
Don't know if they are all that quiet or not, but that one can't be beat.
-
My whip is bout as quiet as I 've heard... but I am sure there are plenty of quiet bows out there!!!
-
you want quiet! My V- Archery "Mistic Hunter" is so quiet I'm not sure if I shot it or not until I walk up to the target!
Seriously, It is so much quieter than any bow I have ever owned it's remarkable...
-
I've tried quite a few and the Pronghorn has to rank toward the top in this category. The now extinct Morrison Classic was silent while it's younger brother Dakota was one of the loudest.

V-Archery Mystic Hunter

Toelke Whip, with Thundersticks not far behind.
