Jonesy, judging by the pics of some of the bucks you have been getting, I wouldn't worry about getting more quiet then you are now.
I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

No, you are shooting the quietest now.If you have a lot of helical on them fletching them with less twist will help a little more or going to a 4" if you are useing a 5 will help a little as well.The smaller you can use is the quieter they will be.
....Quality deer management means shooting them before they get tough....

Jonsey, I'm with JJ . I would not change a thing in my set up. Not my socks ,underwear , como , etc. I would make sure that everything was exactly the same as when you shot that monster in your avatar.

Mike, ya need to soak your fletching in turpentine overnight before the next morning's hunt. That'll soften 'em up a bit and make 'em even quieter. Also, when ya pick up a stranded motorist at 4 am that ran out of gas, filling up the gas can for her won't change the way ya smell too much when ya get out to your huntin' spot. You still use garbage bags to keep your boots dry when crossing creeks these days?    :saywhat:  

Don't listen to that James Wrenn guy, he shoots longbows and kills 'em with Tree Sharks.    :D
