I have 2 Blacktails, one a 3 piece and one a 1 piece and with ff they seem pretty quiet.  My Black Widow seems pretty quiet as well.  I happen to have dacron on it, but not because there was a noise issue.  I had an Adcock longbow that may have been a little more quiet, but not by a long shot.

(1) Sunset Hill longbow, tillered 3 under no string silencers.
(2) RER Retro recurve, tillered split fingers with
    light rubber string silencers.

I shoot 3 under.

My selfbows, hands down the quietest bows I have ever shot. Glass bows can't compete. Selfbows are quieter without string silencers than glass bow, even the quiet ones, are with them. No contest in my opinion.

I have to admit, I have 2 self bows that are quiet. I can't tell you why....I also have a friend who shoots an ACS with the Alum. riser. He has just 2 super string leeches on it and when he shoots if your 20 feet away you can't even hear the shot!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

IMHO, i would say if the bow is a quite shooting bow and is shot at the right brace heigth it shouldnt matter. Bows at 62"-64" depending on draw the tiller isnt a big thing. But it is a bit better to have a "recurve" tillered for three under.

If you fish and hunt only to catch or kill something. You have MISSED THE POINT COMPLETELY.

I'm with you on this one bro.   :goldtooth:

The type of string and strand count makes a difference too, as well as the weight of the shaft vs draw weight.

My Timberhawk is quiet and it isn't tillered for 3 under. I think the old Ben Pearson I have is possibly just a bit quieter though. Never had any animal jump the string on either of those bows. Now if the arrow placement had been better.....  :(
