You will NOT find one quieter or smoother than a Pronghorn.

Hatchchaser, if you go to the Ga forum you can find Big Jim. He checks in there from time to time.

Toelke Whip. Centaur is close with out the carbon in the limbs. Most long bows are quiet anyway.

I've got a Monarch Imperial, 62" 80#@29". From 3' away you can't hear it, just a very faint puff.
Very Quiet!   :thumbsup:

My OKAW Osage Royale and GN Critter Gitter are both dead quiet, even without silencers.  My Robertson is very quiet also.  None of these are hybrids.  The Critter Gitter is so quiet, that I'm looking out for a CG Special.

A buddy of mine and his son both shoot Striker Stingers, they're decidedly on the quiet side.

Haven't tried as many as some here, but the quietest one I've never heard was my buddy's all osage Pronghorn 3ptd.  My 64" Griffin is (was) quiet IMHO, but the Prongy was as quiet without silencers on the string.  1/2 of a catwhisker on each end and there is nothing but the string cuttin the air.

Don't know if they are all that quiet or not, but that one can't be beat.

you want quiet! My V- Archery "Mistic Hunter" is so quiet I'm not sure if I shot it or not until I walk up to the target!

Seriously, It is so much quieter than any bow I have ever owned it's remarkable...

I've tried quite a few and the Pronghorn has to rank toward the top in this category. The now extinct Morrison Classic was silent while it's younger brother Dakota was one of the loudest.
