My Horne Combo Hunter Recurve is about the quietest bow i have NOT heard.
Keeping control of brace height, and some wool in the right places on the string. It is simply silent, and it smokes an arrow too.
The difference in sound w brace height is amazing btw.

Surprising as this may sound, because I've heard many complaints of them being noisy, but my Hoyt Gamemaster (courtesy of Deadsmple) is the quietest recurve I've ever shot and I own about thirty. It does have limb pads and yarn puffs and I shoot about 10gr./lb. off the shelf.

My Thunderstick Ramhorn is the quietest recurve I've ever shot. That said, I want a Mojostik some day.

My Groves and Kempf Stealth are the quietest bows I have owned. I have to agree with Carlsen, when I had a Rocky Miller Predator back in the early 90's, it was a very quiet bow to shoot.

An old Bear recurve I had many moons ago. I think it was of the late fifties era.

Assenheimer gets the nod. I've shot lots of bows but none as quiet.

bow hush along with proper tuning can make any recurve very quiet

Quietest recurve I ever shot was a 1960 Bear Grizzly. Dead quiet with no silencers. All of my modern recurves are quiet once I get them tuned and the Hush Puppies in the correct place, but that bow was mouse quiet right out of the box.
