I have a bow made from a Hill Half Breed blank, 68" a bit more whip ended than a normal Hill.  I just got a string from Steve, aka Frankbullit, that makes this bow shoot softer and more quiet than any bow I have ever had the pleasure to own.  The only thing is that I need to shoot five pound heavier spined arrows because of the increased performance. I think that the string has to do a lot with how quiet a bow puts out an arrow, I have often wondered if loop size comes into play as well.  I have quieted down recurves by making strings with an extra long bleed outs and still keeping the loops as small as possible.

Let me add that classic Bear Kodiak recurves from 1956-1962
are unsurpassed when it comes to 'quiet'.  IMHO
My 60" 1959? Kodiac got really quiet with just a small amount of work.

The quietest recurve I've ever shot is a late 90's Super Kodiak I have. It's 57# at my 29" draw, has a B-50 string with small wool yarn silencers, and I'm shooting 600+ grain doug fir arrows out of it. It is the first recurve I've ever had my hands on that it actually as quiet as my Hill Big Five.

The quietest I've shot is my York Cresent. 62", 51#at 28". It is also the only one I've shot.
