Have to go with the Toelke Chinook, it's just plain stupid quiet. Even when I use light weight carbon arrows all I hear is a soft thump. It's slightly ahead of my GN Ghost in the quiet department.

I've shot Miss Hope also and agree with Rick.

No such thing as a recurve being as quiet as some longbows can be.They can be quiet enough but never as quiet as possible with limbs that don't have a recurve in them.

McCullough Fiftyniner followed by a Whisperstik Mojostik.

Any quality recurve that is setup properly and tuned well. Some are inherently quieter than others, but most of it is in the tuning.

Marriah Thermal...hands down.

Sovereign Ballistik or any of the other static tip recurves.

the Static Talon Recurve that I just started building is as quiet and any longbow I have shot , when the brace height is right. The loudest sound is the arrow hitting the target. It is by far the quietest recurve I have ever shot and the people that have them have all said the same thing. The string comes abruptly off the static curve and does not hit the limb.

As mentioned by a couple of folks above our Orion Static Curve is as quiet as any you will ever see.

Right after we intoduced it we were at a show in Ohio. We had more bowyers then customers so we ended up down on the range shooting each others bows. One of the fellows was shooting our curve and Bob Morrison and I were talking behind the line. When the first shot went down range, Bob said "that's a quiet curve". On the second shot he said "damn, that's quiet" and on the third shot he walked off.

The thing that pleases me most when a customer comes back from trying one out is the common statement: "that's the quietest recurve I've ever shot."

The stats on this bow will be in your next TBM.

I appreciate the great knowledge! does anyone have experience with Chastain or BlackWidow for quietness?

Sixby · « **Reply #33 on:** November 16, 2009, 10:21:00 PM »

Mike that is a good looking bow. You are talking about the Sheepeater , right? Or are you building a different one now?

I agree it is really nice when customers that own a lot of bows and have a lot of experience say that is special, I have never shot a recurve that is that quiet. The first time you shoot a real static it is really a heads up.

wingnut · « **Reply #34 on:** November 17, 2009, 07:17:00 AM »

Sixby,

Nope I was talking about the Orion recurve. We have been building ours for a couple of years now. Just started to build Sheepeaters a couple of months back.

Assenheimer and Marriah Thermal are the 2 quietest that I have shot

CaptJack · « **Reply #36 on:** November 17, 2009, 05:50:00 PM »

My Partners (early Palmer) is very quiet - because of the two bolts per limb system (like a Bob Lee)
My Quinn Stallion is a great shooter but very hard to get quiet - wish it had two bolts per limb

I had a 56" Morrison TD (pre Cheyenne) and it was very quiet with just a small set of silencers on the string.

i had a b-widow psax osage with boo cores...combine that with the bow hush and hush puppies and it was as quiet and smooth as they get.just didnt like the osage look as i prefer darker woods.
