A Griffin hybrid longbow by McCullough is the quietest bow of any type I've had.

Pretty much what I see here is:
Longbows are by design a quiet bow.
So, are the Hill Styles more quiet versus Mild R/D versus the more radical R/D bows?
Perhaps Style of Longbow might be another question to ask?

64" Black Widow plx t/d, tulipwood, if that makes any difference. I know Widows aren't known for being quiet but I swear that particular bow barely made a sound.

Larry, You are absolutely right. The quietest bow I ever shot is my old yew self bow. Never thought of that for some reason but its a fact.
God bless you all, Steve

Eagle wing talon LB is very quiet and i am not done finding the sweet spot.
Toelke lynx has been the bow to beat.

My Toelke whip are dead quiet but at the Kalamazoo expo I was amazed at how quiet the Northern Mist Baraga was without any type of strong silencers.

My lovely wife is test driving a Leon Stewart Little Slammer right now (thanks Mike and Sue). I can't believe how quiet that thing is. Way quieter than anything I'm shooting.

My Stewart takedown is extremely quiet. Had many other quiet bows. Zipper is quiet too. As far as longbows in general, my quietest bows have always been English longbows.
