Snag I agree completely. I was talking with Dan Toelke earlier this week about just that. I have a bow ( a Dwyer ) that is so quiet, I can really hear a bad release, all I hear is the "pluck".
I guess what I mean is some bows just have a different sound, and next to my ear it sounds terribly loud. However, those next to me say, wow, that bow only gives a soft "punk" sound ... how is it so quiet and so fast both? To me, it is very loud!!! I have the bow right next to my head, so it is louder to me. Thus jsut wondering if there is a non subjective number one can use to quantify the "loud theashold" of a bow. Say if it is over 50 decibels or something it is getting a bit loud etc.
Likely, there is no such thing. I think I am just hyper sensitive to noise especially when hunting and freak at the slightest noise. I hunt from the ground and stalk/still hunt the deer I shoot.
