SOUND QUESTION
« on: September 27, 2007, 11:16:00 PM »
Which has less noise/ vibration during and after the shot,   A good recurve or a good r/d longbow?  Assuming both have sting silencers ect.. on them and shooting a plenty heavy arrow.
Blessings,
Steve

Usually a longbow is Quieter.

Yep, the longbow is generally much more quiet. Of course noise and vibration are both controlable to a point through good tuning.

Recurves are almost always noisier.  Among other things, the string contacts/slaps the limbwhen it's shot.

Agree with above, but some static tips recurves are very and I mean very quiet. Ya can reduce the noise on both bows. Shawn
