What is the quietest recurve you never heard.  The rain has me stuck in the house by the way.  :rolleyes:

the whisperstiks ive shot have all been quieter than anything else.  Those have been Bears and Black Widows.
Silence over speed.  Heavier arrows never hurt.

A Arawak to "Phoebus archerie" a french bowmaker.
It's a fifties design recurve, rather swift but very quiet.No doubt, to discover for an American bowhunter !

I have heard all along that Widows are noisy, but I just purchased my first one(PSAII) and I must disagree. This Widow, at least, is as quiet as any recurve I have owned or shot.

I think proper tuning will dictate noise level for the most part.

I guess you forgot how quiet my Marriah Thermal was (without much in the way of silencers by the way)when we were shooting on Sunday...  :D

I agree... my Marriah Thermal is super freaky quiet and ridiculously fast for a 50 pounder or so. My buddy calls it a freak of nature.

We should have shotguns for this kind of deal.

I've shot a lot of bows since the mid fifties and none is as quiet as the two DAS Master Hunters my wife and I own.

I also have a Rocky Miller Predator 3 piece take down that is about as quiet a bow as I owned prior to the DAS bows,

well MY silvertip is so quiet I usually don't know I shot it until I see the target tip over.    ;)   Of course it could have something to do with the mass weight and bow hush...    :readit:    :D

Dave and Mark,
             I've also heard a lot of people put down BW's because they are noisy. I have a PSA11 and just sold a PGA. Both these bows are quiet and all I really hear is the thud when the arrow hits the target. I'm using the spider silencers per BW instructions.
