Ever wonder why Hill bows seem quieter to game animals?
Did you know that deer are better at hearing high frequency sounds, but not as good as humans at hearing lower frequency sounds?
Did you know higher frequent sounds are more directional in nature than lower frequency sounds?
Wouldn't it make sense that a longbow with thicker longer string have lower frequency sounds than a short bow with skinny low stretch string?
Could it be possible that a Hill style bow is even quieter to game animals than it is to us?
If you want to see the charts and what I wrote about this all check out my blog when you get a chance....

Enjoy.
