My 64" ZIPPER recurve is the one that's almost silent!

My vote goes to the RER with static tips any of their recurve models. I have one of their Retro 1-piece recurves, quietest bow I have and I have several. R.W.

I shot a Toelke Chinook that was super quiet, and the Ambush I have now is very quiet as well. But the queitest recurve I have shot was one made by Gene Saunders.

DAS master with Dryad Epic limbs.
No string slap here, its "hybrid" longbow quiet.

there you have it.........they are all quiet.

string material, strand count, silencer placement, silencer material, arrow weight, arrow material, brace height, ect ect all goes into how quiet or not a bow is

The quietest that I personally have ever shot was a particular Appalation Savage River takedown by Dave Guthrie. 62" 58# @ 28". I have never experienced one THAT quiet since, even other Appalations. I've shot just about all listed here except the Assenheimer. All were quiet, love to try the Assenheimer someday though. Morrison Shawnee was surprisingly quiet too before tuning, almost silent now that it is dialed in.

The 64" 58#@28" Griffin is one fast, stealthy quiet bow!

You guys with the quiet 60's Kodiaks are going to have to let me try one. I bought a '66 Kodiak because I really wanted one. It was the noisiest and harshest shooting recurve I've ever shot. I watched other people shoot the bow and you could see the limbs moving everywhere and it made a racket with wood, aluminum, carbon and even fiberglass arrows. I had to sell it because it was that bad.

Didn't mean to hijack the thread. Quietest recurve I have shot with no silencing was a Zipper Extreme. Leon Stewart recurve was pretty close. My RER makes a racket but can be made quiet with Bow Hush and Hush Puppies.

Bruin Recurves are very easy to quiet but they are built only for B-50 strings. I have had good luck getting 65 Kodiak's real quiet too. I have not had luck getting any bows with FF as quiet as these two. I have trouble in general getting any bow as quiet with my 31.5-32" draw as my buddy with his 27" draw.

I have a five lam bear kodiak from the 50s, it takes a 70" string. It is as deadly quiet as a hickory longbow.

I'll chime in here and say that the Dryad Orion static is as quiet as any I have had. I got the st. judes 58" from 2010 auction. It is so quiet and fun to shoot that I am going to order another set of limbs for it......AND I'M A LONGBOW SHOOTER.

my 1970 Bear Super Kodiak 64" 55# with an arrow weight of around 550-600 grains I love it bd

I have two Rose Oak King Panthers and both are quiet as a church mouse straight from Brandon.

Thanks to some great tips by Night Wing my 1-piece blacktail is very quiet now!

RER Arroyo and Jack Kempf Kwyk Styk for me! Longbows would be 7 Lakes and a Roy Hall Cherokee! Shawn

My 89 model Bob Lee Thunderbolt 1 pc recurve is the quietest recurve I've ever shot...1 small set of cat whiskers....it's quieter than some longbows.

David Yukon · « **Reply #39 on:** October 21, 2010, 09:01:00 PM »

I guess they are all quiet like some one said... Look like it from the diversity of the brands!!
Thank you
