It just all depends how good your hearing is.  If your hearing is not so good, you may want to choose the super mag.  That way you will know when the bow goes off.  It will sound like you smacked a 2 x 4 on the table. :biglaugh:

Wow. So little love for the SuperMag! But  You have gotten good advice, I guess.
I bought a 45# Super mag  brand new in the 1970’s. Then I went into the Army, got married, had kids, and didn’t have much time for bowhunting.

Around 1990, I joined an archery league and everyone was shooting these new contraptions. So I followed the herd and did the same. Then at the end of the season someone suggested a throwback night. A lot of guys joined in and brought their old recurves for a shoot.

I dug out the SuperMag. The first two arrows were in the kill zone, slightly high but a pretty good group at twenty yards. Somebody asked how I did that and I replied “ I don’t know, just shot it.” Then and there I realized what I had been missing. 

Kinda went crazy buying new and used recurves, long bows. Somewhere along the way I sold  the SM.

I don’t remember excessive noise or finger pinch, but it probably had some. But I remember it fondly as the bow that brought me back to my senses.
