Quietest Hybrid ???????????
« on: November 02, 2008, 11:10:00 AM »
Which hybrid longbow have you found to be the most quiet?       :confused:    

 I'm thinking about getting one and "quiet" is the most important quality as far as I'm concerned.       :readit:      


      :help:        Thanks!

Steve,I only have one hybrid longbow and cannot really compare to others but the one I have,is quiet enough for me and I wouldn't trade or buy any other ones.The "longhorn" made by Jim Belcher is all I need,fast,quiet and just feels right in my hand,a pleasure to shoot.

I'll second the quietness of Jim Belcher's "Longhorn" hybrid longbow.

Pronghorn. My Pronghorn is by far the quietest one I've ever shot. If it were not for the string coming off my glove I would not hear the shot at all (It's that quiet). Not only is it the quietest, it's the smoothest bow I've ever shot, shoots where, I look, and the speed is as good as any. I, just can't say enough good things about Pronghorn bows..........

Mine are all good! If I had to pick it would be the Roy Hall Cherokee.I think I could get by without silencers with that one. However shrew sees more action.

The type of bow I'm interested in is more along the lines of a R/D bow with a recurve type grip, sort of like a RER Vortex.

My A&H ACS CX has been the quietest bow I have owned.  Also for me, it has been the best shooting bow I have ever shot!

I have a Firefly by Jim Jones, and it is as quiet as my Assenheimer recurve (and it is QUIET). This is the quietest longbow I've owned.

It's made from bacote ebony and osage. it has amber boo limbs with a boo core. It also has phenolic and bacote limb tips. And the arrow shelf has phenolic on the side so if it falls on its side it wont mess up the wood.

I'll have to agree with the ACS-CX...

Had a friend go nuts over how quiet my new Fox Royal Crown is. I would have to agree with him that is more quiet than my other hybrids.
 I had a Super Shrew that seemed pretty quiet as well, I just didnt shoot it as well as my other bows.
 I like heavy arrows (11-12 gr per pound), so that helps absorb vibrations from the bow.
