Been there since the late 60's.  Not going back ever.........  I am too old anyway.

Tiller is not that critical..  The noise can be fixed with a bit of experimentation.  Move the knock point, the brace height and the string silencers.  I can get my longbows down to a dead thump.  My curves take a bit more work

im liking it groups are tighter im more o0f a gap shooter now heck you have the arrow in your line of sight the downside is you may be slower on the reload and louder

I contacted "my bowyer" and we discussed the louder noise when shooting 3 under.  He believes that this might be due to excess finger pressure on the top finger.  He also made the comment about raising the nock point.  Without slow mo video it is hard for me to guage my form as I release 3 under.  I have noticed after lots of shooting over 2 days that I still had callus build up on my pointer finger, as I did when shooting split.  I need to work on evening out the pressure.  Question:  3 under shooters:  have you tweaked your brace height and noticed a difference in quietness?  If so, which way did you go higher or lower on brace?  Thanks.

Have a sooper doop Holiday weekend!
Best of Luck!

Tom - I've been shooting parallel shafts 3 under and had quite a bit of noise.  Yesterday I took delivery of some AD Trad lite shafts which are tapered.  I bareshafted them and that allowed me to lower the nock point about 1/4" and it quieted the bow down.  I also have some tapered POC shafts that I'm in the process of building which are a little heavier and should quiet the bow even more.

I too just switched to 3 under after shooting split finger for 9 years. Have not had a problem with any noise or tiller issues. My groups at 20 yards have never been so good.

Does take a little getting use to but I like it...

I just switched to 3 under 2 months ago. I tried split again last week for two shots. I never knew there was that much finger pinch before... hehe. Now for me 3 under has more comfort. And my accuracy is better. I shoot aerial targets that way now too. Can't wait untill October 1st now...
Good luck everyone.
