I have a BW PAX that is one heck of a gorgeous bow but it is snappy loud. For a longbow guy like me, shooting this bow is a bit too loud for me. I tried different arrows and still wasn't longbow quiet. My Zipper SXT recurve is a whisper compared to the BW. This is a knock to BW just my simple experience. So I put on some wool yarn puffs and put some velcro on the limbs where the string contacts the bow and BAM she is dumb quiet now
Didn't cost me much if anything, nothing exotic and works amazing.
