Quiet R/D longbow?
« on: December 10, 2008, 09:47:00 AM »
Who makes the quietest r/d longbow you have never heard?  Let's include the hybrids as well.  For me the quietest hybrid was a Kohannah Fury and the quietest d-shape has been a Mohawk.
It's not the arrival, it's the journey.

Lots of different opinons on this one.  I have a few different bows that are very quiet but some it took a little more messing with to get that way.

There are alot of R/D bows that are quiet,there design I feel makes them quieter then like a Hybrid.But there are alot of variables in making a quiet bow.I have had alot of R/D bows from different bowyers that were all just as quiet as each other.Some may be more but you can make them quiet with some different silencing methods.A Fox,Dwyer,Big Horn Ramhunter,Kohannah and many others.

Another vote for the Toelke whip.  Quietest bow I've shot (besides a Toelke D bow, but that doesn't fit the r/d requirement).  Another super quiet bow is an A&H ACS with wood riser (aluminum seems to have a higher pitch)...Mike

Shady, the aluminum risered Swan Classic belly mount I have hands down. To bad it is the only one ever made like it. Haven't shot the new style classics on the new riser yet.

Hall bows are very quiet, as well as Fox, and most 21st Century bows too.  Most can be tuned to be quiet.

Mohawk and a Horne's Traditionalist; so quiet you could get another shot off if you had to.Hybrids? I could tell you the ones that weren't quiet, but that's another Thread LOL!   :saywhat:    :bigsmyl:
